The Betty Blip
This small showcase exhibit explores Betty Ford’s breast cancer diagnosis just six weeks into her husband’s presidency. In an era when breast cancer was a private disease, Betty’s decision to go public with her diagnosis and to give the media access to her recovery transformed breast cancer awareness in the United States.
