Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words Part 1
It's a voice many of us never thought we'd hear and the private history we never thought we would learn. Only four months after her husband's assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy quietly recorded more than eight hours of audio tape. It tells the story of a woman who is a witness to history ... and also making history herself. Here is ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words Part 2
Jacqueline Kennedy went on to become an object of complete fascination in America - women wanted to entertain as she did. There was even a thirty percent increase in college students trying to learn French. And America became a nation of bouffant hair and pillbox hats. ABC's Diane Sawyer spoke with Jacqueline's daughter, Caroline Kennedy.

Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words Part 5
It's not easy for all of us in 2011 to remember who women were back in the '60's. They were standing between two worlds: the traditional past and the independent future. So it is very surprising to hear what Jacqueline Kennedy says on these tapes from 1964 ... when she saw women on television asserting their own power, but believed they were on a kind of cultural suicide mission. Again, here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.
