Rebecca Ann King

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rebecca Ann King (b. 1950, Hancock, Iowa) is most noted as holder of the 1974 Miss America title. Heralding the arrival of feminism in this most traditional of events, Rebecca King was a law student, who famously expressed feminist political views at the Miss America Pageant's morning-after breakfast following her crowning.

She received a law degree from Denver University and became a practicing domestic-relations attorney specializing in divorce. She pressured the Miss America Pageant to award points for the interview section of the competition, and has spoken in favor of female empowerment at many schools and organizations. She married sculptor George Dreman and has since used the name Rebecca King Dreman.
