And, perhaps now, if that had occurred, we'd be thinking of Jackie in the same terms as, say, Joan Kennedy, who put up with her obnoxiously immature husband for far too long before divorcing him. Just a disgraced, impeached president and a long-suffering wife free to finally divorce him. His so-called "womanizing" (such a quaint word for basic trampiness) would have landed him in the doghouse shortly after he entered the White House. Kennedy were president now, when we scrutinize the private lives of our public officials so intensely, instead of in the Sixties, it seems unlikely that he would have survived the presidency, even if he hadn't been assassinated.

Yes, Harrison’s work is inspired by Madonna as in the pop star phenomenon, but the work also examines the Madonnna/whore complex, the Virgin Mary, how women have been perceived, documented and pigeonholed throughout the ages and celebrates strong women throughout the ages.
