Did you know

• that in the 1950s and 1960s female Foreign Service Officers were asked to resign once they got married?
• that even in the late 1960s, some ambassadors would object to a woman being posted to their embassies?
• that female FSOs were sometimes expected to act as social secretary to the Ambassador’s wife?
