This 'Mrs. America' episode revisits a political sex scandal that has been somewhat forgotten 'because, well, who can keep track of them all?'
, with titles such as “You Can Be Beautiful: With Beauty That Never Fades” and “Daughters of Eve: Strength for Today from Women of Yesterday.”, published in Mother Jones in 1977, Hobbs was initially so hostile to the press she wouldn’t even give reporters her name, using only the name “Mrs. X.” As Spruill writes in “Divided We Stand,” Mary Kay Cosmetics even distributed literature from the Pink Ladies.
Hays was a Democrat from Ohio who resigned after Elizabeth Ray, a 27-year-old clerk in his office, claimed she was paid $14,000 a year for sexual favors and did no office work. “I can’t type, I can’t file, I can’t even answer the phone,”Ray had a Capitol Hill office, where she kept a copy of Erica Jong’s “Fear of Flying” next to a typewriter that was never plugged in, according to the Post.
“There are 10 or 15 offices [on the Hill] that I know girls have had to do this to get a job,” she told the Post, noting that only Hays was unusually cruel. “The other congressmen at least treat them like a date. I used to go into depression, but I had to tell myself that it’s a job I have to do right now.”
