Ellen Fitzpatrick is professor of history at the University of New Hampshire. Her book The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women's Quest for the American Presidency (Harvard University Press, 2016) provides the story of three women, out of over two hundred women, who pursued the presidency. In the nineteenth century, when women were denied the vote, the self-made Victoria Woodhull, a political and religious outsider, ran on a platform of change and reform. In the 1940s, the pragmatic Republican Margaret Chase Smith entered politics as the result of the “widow's mandate.” She stayed in Congress for over two decades and ran for president in 1964. The Democrat Shirley Chisholm took on the double jeopardy of running as the first black woman to seek the presidency in 1972. Her grassroots base included black community activists and feminists. All three women faced structural obstacles rather than lack of grit. Hillary Clinton's presidential run in 2008 would again challenge the American resistance to breaking the highest glass ceiling and demonstrated how much and how little the prospects for a woman president had changed.

Segment A: Letters to Jackie When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 the nation, and the world, mourned. Over the course of the two years following Kennedy's death his widow Jackie received 1.5 million condolence letters. The letters remained largely untouched for decades, but historian and News Hour with Jim Lehrer commentator Ellen Fitzpatrick has gathered 250 of the letters in a collection titled Letters to Jackie: Condolences from a Grieving Nation. You'll want to tune in to hear about the heartfelt and moving letters Fitzpatrick has brought to light. Segment B: A Taste of Honey Acclaimed author, critic and literary scholar Jabari Asim has penned and published his first work of fiction A Taste of Honey: Stories. Though it is a work of fiction the stories are rooted in the tumultuous reality of 1968 America. The sixteen interconnected stories create a realistic depiction of life for African Americans living in a fictionalized small Midwestern town.
