Featured on Mlive.com this month was an article interviewing daughter of 38th former president Gerald R. Ford and Betty Ford, Susan Ford Bales, about the extraordinary life of her 92-year-old mother. The "Betty Ford - An Extraordinary Life" exhibit at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum on February 27, 2011 in Grand Rapids, MI. She shares about the struggles her mother was faced with as a first lady and the battle she fought with cancer. But mostly "she should be recognized for the differences she made for women", said Bales. Those are the words of a rightfully so proud daughter. So often we see mother proud of their daughters, not nearly as often as we see daughters turning the spotlight around on their mothers. Of course, not every mother is an influential advocate for women. Though they all face the same difficulties of raising their daughters with courage and strength.
