Recenzje

"This well-researched, beautifully written text highlights Jacqueline Kennedy's pioneering use of soft power in diplomacy as first lady. Mrs. Kennedy often gets pigeonholed as a style icon, but Elizabeth J. Natalle's close analysis of her rhetoric and communication styles and love for arts and culture shows instead that this first lady had key diplomatic influence-a role, indeed, that her husband, President John F. Kennedy greatly relied on. Whether in her use of culture, fashion, language, or state-to-state interactions, Jacqueline Kennedy, as Natalle shows, performed an 'embodied rhetoric' of soft power and left a legacy for diplomatic action that First Ladies have reckoned with and tried to emulate to this day." -Katherine A. S. Sibley, Professor of History and Director of American Studies at Saint Joseph's University, Editor of A Companion to First Ladies
