Was Betty Ford really a feminist? Did Shirley Chisholm really try to launch a proto-MeToo movement in Congress? We break down the latest Mrs. America.
Following the ceremony, Betty Ford takes Ruckelshaus aside and says, “You should be front and center, Jill. Who better to prove feminism isn’t a dirty word? A Midwestern married mom of five … you’re as American as apple pie.” It is true that, as a clean-cut, married, and fiscally conservative woman, Ruckelshaus challenged the dominant cultural stereotypes around feminists and the pro-ERA movement at the time.
One of the episode’s main storylines involves William Ruckelshaus being short-listed to be Ford’s running mate. The couple spend several days preparing William’s acceptance speech and envisioning possibilities for the future, but in the end he is overlooked for the position.
