On this the feast of the Immaculate Conception there is a special resonance about this story.
“But for Keeler there was no legacy but shame; guilt clings to the victim, then as now. Her marriages failed, her money was lost, and she was fired from a menial job when her identity was exposed.
She was mocked for losing the beauty that defined her; Christine Keeler looking rough became a tabloid staple, for what else was she for?
She was mocked, too, for seeking to profit from the scandal with her memoirs; but if men can benefit from her story, why not she? The answer is simple, and eternal. She was the woman, and the woman bears the guilt.” https://gu.com/p/7ya5a/sbl
