1992, Evelyn Lauder and Alexandra Penney began giving away pink ribbons and breast self-exam cards. Ever since then, those ribbons have shown up everywhere. But she did so much more than just pass out trinkets and sell cosmetics. A breast cancer survivor herself, she decided to do something about finding a cure.
