Betty Ford served as the First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977, taking on the role when her husband, Gerald Ford, assumed the presidency following the Watergate scandal. Throughout her time as First Lady, she gained recognition for her vocal support of women’s rights issues, wholeheartedly championing the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and advocating for women’s equality in various spheres of life.

History

Betty Ford’s advocacy extended to raising awareness about breast cancer. In 1974, shortly after becoming First Lady, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her openness about her diagnosis and mastectomy helped destigmatize the disease and encouraged many women to seek early detection and treatment.
