| The Library seeks papers significantly related to Federal government policies and operations in the 1970s, national political affairs in the 1970s, or the lives of Gerald Ford and Betty Ford. | |
| Holdings | |
| During the 1970s, women's economic and civil rights, social role, and political power became a more prominent part of the public agenda. The Ford White House faced these issues in many guises: an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, development of the first Title IX regulations, military academy admittance, abortion policy, credit and property law reform, for examples. The substantive and symbolic intertwined on such matters as the appointment of women, communication with women voters, and participation in the United Nation's International Women's Year, 1975. First lady Betty Ford was the focus of conflicting reactions and expectations for her candor on social, political, and health issues. Throughout the Ford administration, women office-holders such as Housing Secretary Carla Hills (the first woman appointed to the Cabinet in 20 years) and Bobbie Greene Kilberg (Associate Counsel re school desegregation, terrorism, Secret Service issues) sought to exercise greater power on issues unrelated to gender. These concerns are reflected in numerous subcollections of the Ford Presidential Papers, the Papers of Betty Ford, and the donated personal papers of former administration officials. | |
