First Breast Cancer Pioneer in the White House: BETTY FORD
Betty Ford was more than just a first lady--she was a tireless advocate for women's rights, a trailblazer in the treatment of addiction, and an instrumental force in breast cancer awareness. Talking publicly about her own breast cancer treatment led thousands of women to make their first mammogram appointments, and helped to remove the stigma of talking about this widespread illness. Celebrate Betty Ford for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and anytime, with Lisa McCubbin's fascinating and powerful biography.
