9,000 Letters
Looking back now at Jackie Kennedy's poise and style, it's not hard to believe that women admired her and wanted to be just like her. In fact, during the early months of the Kennedy administration in 1961, the White House received over 9,000 letters. American women wanted to know "what kind of shampoo she used" and even if "she wore curlers to bed." Although she became an instant pop culture icon, she left a meaningful, lasting impression. If you're a fan and can't get enough of Jackie Kennedy, get your copy of O! Jackie. Our Blog tour kicks of TODAY and includes a chance for you to win a $100 Amazon giftcard. Tag along on the tour, and you might learn a little more about our favorite first lady.
