    • 1976 August 7, A. Nolder Gay, “But Can He Type?”, in Gay Community News, page 13:
      Attracted by the spurious glamour of "working in Washington," thousands of "G-girls" flock to the city each year, to become low-wage, low-function office workers whose route to good times is the appeal of a young body.
    • 2001 July 25, Dahlia Lithwick, “G-Girl Confidential”, in Salon[1], archived from the original on 2021-12-02:
      G-Girls were voluptuous, promiscuous secretaries, living in boarding houses on Dupont Circle and hanky-pankering with elected officials on Capitol Hill. Lait and Mortimer presented the G-Girl as a sort of perk for hardworking politicians; snuggling on laps in smoke-filled rooms and never, ever, ever saying “no.”
