Kennedy Wives: Triumph And Tragedy In America's Most Public Family (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Historians and biographers offer several theories. Barbara Perry lists some possibilities: “Perhaps her mother and stepfather feared that she would fall back under the spell of Black Jack during the prize’s six-month stint in New York. Or they may have been concerned that she would become an expatriate if she moved to Paris for another long stay. Janet might have believed that her daughter . . . was falling behind in the ‘race’ to find a suitable mate . . .” Sarah Bradford quotes a source as saying that Jackie started the job at Vogue’s New York offices but didn’t even last the morning: An encounter with a flamboyantly gay staff member convinced Jackie that Vogue was no place to find a husband. Instead, Jackie headed back to McLean, and the Auchinclosses. Eager to establish an income and a life beyond Merrywood, and interested in a career in writing, she used Auchincloss connections to secure an interview at the Washington Times-Herald. Starting with secretarial duties, she quickly agitated for a more substantial role at the paper.
