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

Pleasing profile with several particulars not formerly available about Jackie Kennedy. Fetching section with some excessive intuitions into life as a politician's wife, Kennedy family member, American sign and a lady of her time. She was an amazing female, recommended definitely.

She was facinating lady and icon for us as well.

Some listeners may or may not be surprised by the unsophistication of literary taste reflected in this book, given the anthologist's background. The bigger problem is the fact that too many of us who actually read a lot of biographies don't feel the need to own repeats of same stuff that we read or listen in our early days of school....but hey, it all comes down to you.
Still a better book with the content provided but I feel the author needs more work on it next.

Definitely not cutting edge

Jackie is, from start to finish, a narcissistic, spoiled rich kid. Even when she bemoans her lack of funds, she's still subsisting on $20,000 a month--and that was years ago. So although I find myself in sympathy for someone who needs to find herself, her own smug attitude kept me from too much empathy.

Still, I'm glad I read it. The author has done an amazing job of letting us glimpse the woman inside the public persona.

A new look at someone you thought you knew.

The author has given us much more than a lovely remembrance of her mom. Mrs. O is one of our legendary First Ladies; the collection of her favorite poems emerges as part of her legacy to America and to history. The more we read, the more we understand not only Mrs. O and her times, but ourselves as Americans. Many thanks.

One of the top first ladies.

This book reads like the life story of the protagonist. She goes back to her teen years and walks us through all the way to the present. This is a book that inspires us to have dreams and make them a reality. It is easy reading and entertaining. It portrays sadness, loss, as well as becoming of age

Reviewed by Torrez as my favorite audible.

At first, it appeared like she was just a trapped up irritating girl when she was a young girl, but as she got older and later she had kids it seems like she altered into a very decent and kind soul, she did a lot of good while she was First Lady and subsequently.

Indeed a wonderful lady.

I loved this book and listened to it so intensely. I don't believe there was a section that was boring. The great representations of the characters in the book allowed a great insight into Jakie's life. You must listen to it!

Adored this book!
