She attended school in Illinois and studied at Nebraska University, but left to marry in 1903.

In 1926 she ran unsuccessfully for the US House of Representatives from Florida, then was elected in 1928, the first congresswoman from the deep South (Democrat, Florida, 1929–33). In Congress she continued to lobby for women's rights. In 1933 she was appointed a special US ambassador to Denmark and Iceland, becoming the first woman to hold a major diplomatic post.
