Graves, who is working on a book about the Packwood scandal and its implications, said she found it "really ironic" that a senator known for his feminist leanings would be accused of harassing women from 1969 to 1990.
Florence George Graves, one of the reporters who broke the story of Sen. Robert Packwood's alleged sexual misconduct, spoke on the imbalance of power in Washington, D.C. to a group of approximately 25 at the Institute of Politics Tuesday.
"Rumors about sexual harassment on the Hill had floated around for many years." Graves said. "When I began exploring the problem of sexual harassment, Packwood's name just kept coming up."
Graves, currently a public policy fellow at Radcliffe, said the issues raised by the allegations of sexual harassment and the treatment of the issue by other Senators and the media provide insight into the power structure on Capitol Hill.
