""A Diplomat's Helpmate"" is a historical non-fiction book that chronicles the life and accomplishments of Rose F. Foote, the wife of the first U.S. Minister and Envoy Extraordinary to Korea. Written by Mary Viola Tingley Lawrence and published in 1918, the book provides a detailed account of Rose's experiences as a diplomat's wife in the Far East during a time of great political and social upheaval.Through a combination of personal anecdotes, letters, and historical records, Lawrence paints a vivid picture of Rose's life as a helpmate to her husband, William Woodville Rockhill, during their time in Korea. Despite the challenges of living in a foreign country with a different language and culture, Rose quickly adapted to her new surroundings and became an integral part of the diplomatic community.Throughout the book, Lawrence highlights Rose's many contributions to her husband's work as a diplomat, including her role as a translator and interpreter, her work with local charities and organizations, and her efforts to promote American interests in Korea. She also explores the challenges that Rose faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, including the limitations placed on her by the strict social conventions of the time.Overall, ""A Diplomat's Helpmate"" is a fascinating and insightful look at the life and accomplishments of an often-overlooked figure in American diplomatic history. Through Lawrence's engaging prose and meticulous research, readers are transported to a time and place that is both foreign and familiar, and are given a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who helped shape the course of American foreign policy in the Far East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
