Read along with me through a fascinating new book, Ask Not. In each chapter, author Maureen Callahan tells the stories of women whose lives were marked (and often ruined) by the Kennedys.
The 16th "chapter" gives us a final look at a woman from an earlier chapter: Ted's wife, Joan Kennedy.
In this episode, we'll read and discuss:
* Joan's battle with alcoholism, and choice to be public about it
* Ted Kennedy's perception of and dependence on Joan
* How she learned to tell the truth, even to the Kennedys
Let’s consider these things — and discuss them together in the comments!
