  • Resumen

  • On July 28, 1929, Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, later known as Jackie Kennedy, was born in Southampton, New York. She would go on to become one of the most iconic and influential First Ladies in American history.

    Jackie was born into a wealthy family and had a privileged upbringing. She was an excellent equestrian and enjoyed a variety of artistic pursuits, including writing and photography. After graduating from George Washington University in 1951, she began her career as the "Inquiring Camera Girl" for the Washington Times-Herald newspaper.

    In 1953, she married John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts. As her husband's political career flourished, Jackie became an integral part of his campaign and public life. Her grace, intelligence, and sense of style made her a beloved figure in American society.

    When JFK was elected President in 1960, Jackie became the youngest First Lady in nearly 80 years. She took an active role in reshaping the White House, famously giving a televised tour of the renovated mansion in 1962. Her efforts to promote American arts and culture, as well as her support for historic preservation, left a lasting impact.

    Tragically, Jackie's time as First Lady was cut short when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. In the aftermath of this shocking event, Jackie's strength and composure helped to comfort the nation during its time of grief.

    In the years following JFK's death, Jackie remained in the public eye. She later married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1968. After his death in 1975, she embarked on a successful career in publishing, working as an editor at Viking Press and Doubleday.

    Throughout her life, Jackie Kennedy remained a symbol of elegance, resilience, and grace under pressure. Her contributions to American culture and her enduring legacy continue to inspire people around the world to this day.
