The most elegant first lady——Jacqueline

Jacqueline’s life was a magnificent one. Her life experience has a strong sense of history.

Since childhood, like all aristocratic girls, Jacqueline received all-round etiquette training and learned ballet and ballroom dancing. So she behaves elegantly and speaks generously. When she was in school, she learned to write poetry and paint, and was obsessed with classical romantic literature. She was proficient in French and loved reading.

Her first job was as a columnist for the Washington Herald Times, "Investigating Photo Girls." She covered the concerns of the day, covering everything from housewives to the Senate, from Cabinet members to members of Congress, one post a week. In this job, she felt inner fear and anxiety - a woman of her age (only 22 years old) and with a similar education level should be married.

After meeting Jack (John F. Kennedy), he fell in love and got married. In 1960, when John F. Kennedy was running for president, Jacqueline wrote columns for six weekly magazines while pregnant, and submitted a "We Need a Kennedy" poll to support her husband and win votes. At this time, she is the image of a helpful wife.

After moving into the White House, Jacqueline renovated the White House. She concentrated on studying the plan information, looking through pictures of the original appearance of the White House rooms, raising funds, calling on the public to donate White House items, and team decoration. As a result, the White House became a place that attracted the world's attention, changing its previous bleak appearance.

At the same time, she helped Kennedy establish a good image and took the initiative in the name of the first lady to protect ancient buildings, including saving Lafitte Square and planning the future direction of Merriwood. Jacqueline emphasized: While meeting the government's economic development requirements, we should also find ways to preserve historical and cultural heritage.

At this time, Jacqueline is not a vase who wears fashionable clothes and likes shopping. In the general direction, she can also see her overall view and some extraordinary negotiation skills, but these are all based on the relationship between Kennedy and his wife. on the identity.

After John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Jacqueline married the shipping magnate Onassis. Yes, her second marriage gave her endless wealth, but I think Jacqueline was panicked and lacking love at this time. On the other hand, John F. Kennedy's brother was also assassinated, and the safety of her and her children could not be guaranteed. On the one hand, the ship king provided care and support and had enough bodyguards, so she made a decisive choice.

At this stage, Jacqueline is also actively protecting the old Central Station. In 1968, the Penn Central Railroad planned to demolish part of the 42nd Street waiting room at Grand Central Station to build an office building. This move was strongly opposed by Jacqueline Kennedy, the first lady of the United States at the time, and Grand Central Station escaped the fate of being rebuilt. In 1983, New York Grand Central Terminal was placed on the National Register of Historic Preservations.

Jacqueline has a love for architecture and the city of New York, and she understands the symbolic power of a building. She said in a letter to the mayor: Let our city wither away inch by inch, stripping away every proud memory of this city, until everything is barren and there is no longer a beautiful history to open the minds of future generations. Is this right? Isn't it too cruel? If they cannot use the past to inspire future generations, how can they have the strength to support them in creating the future?

The writing style is indeed sensational and contagious. At this stage, Jacqueline continued to work hard at preserving buildings and slowly found what she was interested in.

On March 15, 1975, the shipping king Onassis' condition deteriorated and died. At the same time, as her two children grew up, Jacqueline had a lot of time for herself. She took the initiative to find a job that suited her - editor!

During her work, Jacqueline had a humble attitude, wore ordinary clothes, but was only slightly dressy, and was diligent and hard-working. I wrote a 6-page memo in one week, containing ideas for 30 books covering a wide range of topics. Although the salary is not high, she enjoys the satisfaction and pleasure brought by her work.

It was only after her two marriages ended that Jacqueline began working. She began to change her identity, becoming a career woman instead of a wife. The previous Jacqueline showed the way women of that era should behave. It is also the wife's responsibility to take care of the family, prepare food, clothes and flowers, and at the same time make her husband comfortable and relax. It is the men's business to go to work and make money.

Jacqueline's talents are unknown. She translated documents for the president and helped him write books. She has also been committed to protecting heritage buildings. Her talent is finally released in her work, and her soul is finally saved in her work. She works not for money, but for the realization of her own self-worth.

Of course, her editorial work was a model for the women's movement at the time. In 1975, many women in the United States experienced tremendous changes in their lives. Women are getting more job opportunities and discovering themselves!

Jacqueline continues to transform and grow, and her growth also reflects the growth of America.

Finally, as an idol, she will no longer be swarmed by people when running briskly on Fifth Avenue!
