Just Jackie
Like many other Americans, my fascination with Camelot and with the Kennedy family has been apparent since I first heard of the legacy. One of the most breathtaking and admiral women to grace the earth in the last century has been Jacqueline Lee Bouvier whom married the most famous of all the Kennedy's, Jack. When Jack was inaugurated president in 1961 the White House and nation was brought a beautiful young wife and the first young children of the President in over half a century. As the "First Lady", Jackie brought beauty, intelligence, and cultivated taste. Jackie born in 1929, was the daughter of John Vernon Bouvier and his wife, Janet Lee. Her early years were divided between New York City and East Hampton, Long Island, where she learned to ride almost as soon as she could walk. She was educated at the very best of private school. She learned to write poems and stories, draw illustrations for them, and studied classical ballet. Her mother obtained a divorce from Jackie's father and remarried Hugh D. Auchincloss in 1942. The change brought Jackie and her younger sister Lee to a home near Washington, D.C. called, "Merrywood". Jacqueline was named " the Debutante of
She was married to the most powerful man in the world; had a mansion filled with a staff of servants; limousines, airplanes, and helicopters; and a wardrobe catered to everything that a woman could want. He had become impossible for Jackie to deal with. He surrounded her with attention and admiration. Aristotle Onassis was infatuated with loving famous women. To her friends surprise all the old defense mechanisms she had developed with her alcoholic father, had come back with the thought of a cheating husband. But after the relationship ended she went back to her friendship with Maurice. But most importantly she had won the hearts of people worldwide. It seemed as if Lee and Jackie remained in competition for their whole lives and at times it was hard to see which sister was more jealous then the other. She wanted the companionship of men whom she could lean on for support. and Caroline together, this devastated her children. Another side of her life was her relationship with her sister Lee. As a young girl, Jackie's father taught her that the way women gained power would be by associating themselves with powerful men. Jackie had several miscarriages and she also gave birth to a stillborn child. She was so devastated by her husband's death that she spent the rest of her life thinking that there was something that was always something else she could have done. And Jackie returned to her old life in New York, as the woman she was before, the problem was that she was a different now.
