Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was an American writer, book editor, and socialite who served as the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. A beloved first lady, she endeared herself to the American public with her devotion to her family, and her unwavering dedication to the historic preservation of the White House and other significant landmarks. Her campaigns to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture, and her interest in American history, culture, and arts, left an indelible mark on the nation. During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally.

After studying history and art at Vassar College and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in French literature from George Washington University in 1951, Bouvier started working for the Washington Times-Herald as an inquiring photographer. The following year, she met then-Congressman John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts at a dinner party in Washington. He was elected to the Senate that same year, and the couple married on September 12, 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island. They had four children, two of whom died in infancy. Following her husband's election to the presidency in 1960, Kennedy was known for her highly publicized restoration of the White House, her emphasis on arts and culture, and her style. She also traveled to many countries where her fluency in foreign languages and history made her very popular. At age 33, she was named Time magazine's Woman of the Year in 1962.

After the tragic assassination of her husband in 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her children chose to largely withdraw from public view. In 1968, she made a controversial decision to marry Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she embarked on a new career as a book editor in New York City, first at Viking Press and then at Doubleday, and worked diligently to restore her public image. Even after her passing in 1994, she remains one of the most popular and recognizable first ladies in American history. In 1999, she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of the 20th Century. Her burial at Arlington National Cemetery alongside President Kennedy and two of their children, one stillborn and one who died shortly after birth, is a testament to her enduring legacy. Surveys of historians conducted periodically by the Siena College Research Institute since 1982 have consistently found Kennedy Onassis to rank among the most highly regarded first ladies by the assessments of historians.
