\n* CoolOldLady: The respectable First Lady, as in RealLife, was a outspoken feminist who supported the ERA and spoke out about topics that were previously taboo for First Ladies (she came about about her breast cancer surgery, she told ''60 Minutes'' that she and President Ford share the same bed, she supports abortion, and she wouldn't be surprised if her teenage daughter told her she was having sex because she is just like everyone one else).
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Her candor about the issues facing women and her personal life could make for a compelling series or film on it's own.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: As he tells Gloria, she must never tell anyone his name and she must live her life as she wants. A doctor had only met her once and he had a big impact on her getting a career in journalism, living two years in India where she developed her knowledge and philosophy surrounding feminism (as she said, "Change comes from the bottom up"), and influenced a movement that improved and altered the lives of many women. And we only learn of his name because she finally revealed it in her 2010s book ''On the Road''.
