Frustrated by the male dominated world of media and politics, Eleanor holds the White House's first all-female press conference and grows closer to journalist Lorena "Hick" Hickock. Betty's public announcement of her breast cancer diagnosis shifts opinion of the Ford Administration away from Jerry's controversial pardon of Nixon and makes Betty a popular figure among American women. After Barack gets clobbered in the midterms, Michelle launches a new healthy school lunch program, which prompts a stalled Congress to enact new legislation.
