"Tina has put together a dazzling collection of writers between the covers of this work which gives us one of the best of varied photos and articles about Jackie."
Liz Smith, Huffington Post

"This unusual and fascinating biography is a primer on to how to live not a perfect but an authentic, courageous, and purposeful life. What Jackie Taught Us is a must-read for admirers of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis. Even those versed in her life will find that Flaherty has unearthed new and personal stories about this already much-documented woman.

"Almost 20 years have passed since Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died from non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but her glamorous legacy lives on in What Jackie Taught Us. Written by Jackie s one-time neighbor Tina Santi Flaherty, the book is a must-read for anyone fascinated with the famed first lady, with essays, insights and observations from notables like Liz Smith, C.D. Green and Malachy McCourt. "
Miami Herald

"To women of my generation, Jacqueline Kennedy was the gold standard for the ideal woman. She made it socially acceptable for a woman to be both smart and beautiful, creating a durable role model for women like Sheryl Sandberg and Melissa Myer to eventually follow.
What Jackie Taught Us...has been reissued with wonderful comments by people who knew her. Friends like Hemingway biographer A.E. Hotchner, and columnist Liz Smith share their Jackie stories that remind us of her poise, grace and zest for living. In addition to decoding her timeless fashion, the author details the powerful and lasting impact Jackie had on American culture. What Jackie Taught Us is a perfect weekend read " Fashion Flash
"Re-released to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Onassis s death, this version of What Jackie Taught Us includes a series of new essays that represent an important contribution to not only Flaherty s book, but also to Jackie studies in general. It s a treat to have thelegacy of someone who s so seldom considered seriously (so often she s reduced to dresses and hats) reevaluated by the likes of Edna O Brien, Allen Packwood, and Malachy McCourt. And Liz Smith s preface is a downright gem.
