Ruth Bielaski Shipley (April 20, 1885 – November 3, 1966)[1] was an American government employee who served as the head of the Passport Division of the United States Department of State for 27 years, from 1928 to 1955. Her decisions to refuse passports were widely seen as undemocratic, dictatorial, whimsical and often personal.[2][3]
