     Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she

went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did

nowhere else.

     After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate (巨头) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Bald'rige made a suggestion that she consider a career(职业) in publishing.After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it.Perhaps she hoped to find there

some ideas about how to live her own life.She became not less but more interested in reading.For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor,first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing (追求) a latelife career longer than her two marriages combined.During her time in publishing, she was

responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books.Among the first books

were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes.She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth.The book went on to become an international bestseller.She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as

he prepared his autobiography (自传),Moonwalk.

     Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her

worth.Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself.In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time

by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind.Her books are the autobiography she
