Summary

Explore the fascinating life of Jackie Kennedy!

Without a doubt, the name Jacqueline Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind. She is, perhaps, most well-known for her service as the first lady of the United States when her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and for her role in restoring the White House. Then, of course, other people remember Jackie for her role in the fashion industry, particularly her pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat, which became symbols of her husband's assassination. Jackie is so renowned and beloved that she ranks as one of the most popular first ladies. In fact, Jacqueline was named, in 1999, in Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in 20th century America. While she made major impacts on the White House, Jackie was much more than her title of first lady.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • Childhood and early education
  • College and early career
  • The relationship with John F. Kennedy
  • Motherhood
  • Campaign for presidency
  • First lady
  • The Kennedy assassination
  • Life following the assassination
  • Ongoing iconic figure
  • And a great deal more that you don't want to miss!

Very informative.

Wondered about many things after the President's killing. Was surprised at the fear Mrs. Kennedy had for herself and her children.

The book answered many questions I had.

I would recommend this book to anyone.

I enjoyed this very fact based account of Mrs. Kennedy-Onasis' life. No gossip or innuendo. Extremely engaging and fascinating. Well recommended.

I enjoyed it very much.

Enjoyed this version of Jackie. The details are explained well and the author's belief that Jackie suffered with PTSD following Dallas is well-supported.
