The Tuesday Faculty Lunch Series welcomes Suzanne Condray, professor, Communication, presenting a lecture titled “A First Lady Takes a Bow: Betty Ford’s Performance of Equality.” From the moment Betty Ford stepped before cameras in her first press conferences, audiences saw a First Lady unapologetic about her commitment to women’s equality. Television captured the humor, the grace and the candor as she leveraged her identity as a traditional wife and mother, usurped the language of radical feminists and scaled the distance between contingencies of women. In the end, her campaign may not have won passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, but it did further a national dialogue on gender equity.
