Association copy, inscribed to Betty Ford on the front free endpaper, "Betty - November 20 was a wonderful day - I love to speak plainly, I love to crawl on the floor and look at a beautiful quilt, I love your intuitive judgment and good sense, I love working with you - and I love you! And I think you'll like dipping into this book - Nancy 1974." Boldly signed and dated by First Lady Betty Ford on the half-title page, "Betty Ford 1975." First Lady Betty Ford was a transformative figure in American public life, using her platform to advocate openly for women’s rights and health issues, including breast cancer awareness and addiction treatment, reshaping the public expectations of the First Lady’s role.
