Her influence over Truman caused him to appoint many women to prominent positions - Eugenia Anderson as United States Ambassador to Denmark , Perle Mesta as United States Minister to Luxembourg , Ruth Bryan Rohde as an alternate delegate to the United Nations , Eleanor Roosevelt as the head of the U.S. delegation to the U.N. General Assembly , and Georgia Neese Clark as Treasurer of the United States . At the 1952 Democratic National Convention , her name was included , as a symbolic gesture , in the nominations for vice-president . She was the second woman honored in this way at a major party convention ( Lena Springs being the first ) . She declined the nomination because she did not feel the time was right
