Jackie.One name was all you needed. A paragon of femininity,
fashion, American wifeliness and motherhood, she was also fiercely
independent, the first modern First Lady. Then her husband was
murdered, changing her world and ours. Traumatized and exposed,
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy nonetheless built a new life for herself
in an America similarly haunted by upheaval. She dated and traveled
relentlessly before scandalizing the world by marrying a foreigner,
living abroad, climbing ruins, cruising the oceans, and wandering
Europe braless and barefoot. But Jackie's reinvention has been
culturally erased. In Finding Jackie, author Oline Eaton pieces it
back together.Jackie's story--treated like a national soap opera
and transmitted through newspapers, magazines, images, and TV
during the 1960s and 1970s--became wired into America's emotional
grid. Here, in Finding Jackie, she's rediscovered as an adventurer,
a wanderer, a woman and an idea in whom many Americans and people
around the globe have deeply, fiercely wanted to believe. Touching
down everywhere from London, Paris, the Watergate, and 1040 Fifth
Avenue to Skorpios, Athens, Capri, and Phnom Penh, Finding Jackie
returns Jackie's story to its original context of a serialized
drama unfurling alongside the Civil Rights movement, women's
liberation, and the Vietnam War. In Finding Jackie, Oline Eaton
reveals the kaleidoscopic Jackie we need now: the most celebrated,
exposed, beloved, reviled, written about, and followed "star of
life."
