a neighbor in the same New York apartment building-Clementina
(Tina) Santi Flaherty, author, philanthropist, and businesswoman,

first female corporate vice president of three of America's largest
corporations- Colgate-Palmolive, Grey Advertising, and GTE (now
Verizon).
Tina is the recipient of many awards and honors including an
honorary doctorate from St. John's University and an Equal People
Award sponsored by the U.N. Decade for Women. She was also selected
by the National Conference of Christians and Jews as "An
Extraordinary Woman of Achievement."

Foundation Inc., and the Churchill Centre.
Tina is also the author of The Savvy Woman's Success Bible (with
Kay Gilman) and Talk Your Way to the Top. She lives in New York
City with her two dogs, Jackie and Scarlett.
"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.”
—Dolce Dolce
"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 the legacy
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.
Twenty years after her death, we’re still curious about Jackie.
From Flaherty’s book, we get some clues as to why.
