"Members of women's rights groups don't make any sense and I have talked with some of them. They say that they have no individuality as women. That when a woman marries she loses her name so she loses her individuality. I think women who feel this way don't have a feeling of individuality to begin with."1 When asked about the "Miss America image," pam replied, "I think the Miss America image is the girl that year. And I've been Pam Eldred all year."2
