London, Sept 16 (ANI): Caroline Kennedy has revealed that her daughters are 'absolutely horrified' after listening to taped interviews released this week of grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' old-fashioned views on the role of women.
In the 1964 interviews with Arthur Schlesinger Jr., the young widow described her marriage as 'a rather terribly Victorian or Asiatic relationship' and said she borrowed all her opinions from her husband, President John F. Kennedy.
She also said she didn't believe women should be politicians and described being subordinate to her husband on principle.
'I think women should never be in politics. We're just not suited to it,' she says.
If she and John Kennedy argued, "I'd rush and say I'm so sorry. He loved that, because it's hard for men to make up first," she said.
Speaking on Good Morning America, Caroline Kennedy described her family's reaction and how she explained her mother's world view to her daughters.
"It was funny because my daughters listened to it too and they were just absolutely horrified," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling GMA.
"[They asked] "Did she really think that?"
Speaking about fellow political wives, she was particularly scathing.
Lady Bird Johnson, LBJ's wife, was 'sort of like a trained hunting dog,' she said.
Of South Vietnam's First Lady Madame Nhu and conservative congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, she added: 'I wouldn't be surprised if they were lesbians.' (ANI)
