About Martha Mitchell

Martha Elizabeth Beall Mitchell (September 2, 1918 – May 31, 1976) was the wife of John N. Mitchell, United States Attorney General under President Richard Nixon. She became a controversial figure with her outspoken comments about the government at the time of the Watergate scandal. She was known as "The Mouth of the South" and contacted reporters about her husband's activities in the Watergate scandal. Psychiatrist Brendan Maher named the Martha Mitchell effect after her, since her claims were initially taken to be a sign of mental illness.

Additional quotes by Martha Mitchell

I never would have been in a predicament like I am if I hadn't...left the South.

Any woman who tries to influence a man in subtle ways is a fool. Every woman should influence her man, but she should do it as a full and open partner—and not in some secret fashion.

That isn't the issue. What the women in this country should be interested in and are getting interested in is to be treated on the same intellectual plane as the men. Once they are accepted on that basis, their equal rights will follow freely. After that we can go back to "Vive la difference!"
