Rebecca Ann King (born 1950, in Hancock, Iowa) is most noted as holder of the 1974 Miss America title.[1] 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.

King received a law degree from the University of Denver School of Law 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 banker George Dreman and has since used the name Rebecca King Dreman.

Her daughter, Diana Dreman, won the Miss Colorado 2011 pageant and competed at the Miss America 2012, making her the first daughter of a Miss America ever to compete for the Miss America title.[2]
