Contributions to and influence over her famed family dynasty. This program is about an hour. Host Barbara Perry its good to be here with you talking about the kennedys. But that is having grown up catholic i think the kennedys have the particular resonance for us but i wanted to start right off in ask you, youre a Supreme Court president ial scholar. How did you get interested in rose . Guest ive been interested in the Kennedy Family since i was a little tyke read when i was four years old my mother to me and my brothers to downtown louisville. She piled the center 56 chevrolet and drove us downtown to the courthouse. She was completely drawn to this new candidate on the scene in the president ial race senator john f. Kennedy. Host do you think because he was catholic a little bit . Guest i have to think i that was a major part of it in addition to which he was about her age so she was the new generation to which the torch was being passed that i point out what she loved history and po
No way she was going to be trainedo be the Public Office holder that her father was and her sons would become. Having said that, i think her life is filled with paradoxes, and thats one of them. While she was not a feminist and did not begin as a suffragette, she pushed the boundaries as far as she could within her society and religion and pushed them as far as she could to become the vocal spokesperson for the Kennedy Family whenever possible, and she was trained to do that by her father. To shed go out on the campaign trail with him when she was a teenager. So she in some ways was pushing the envelope, as they say, but in others she was certainly not a feminist by any stretch of the imagination. Host you know, before we talk about her, the role she played in forming that incredible family, let me go back to something you said about wellesley. What do you think was important about her father not letting her go there . Guest right. Well, the story is that she had her heart set on going
One of the saddest moment of their life and regret it. She did not express much regret. Guest she did not. I point out the picture on the front of the book. I was a bit distracted by the goblet of water in the for front but its the perfect metaphor because its exactly half full with heart and that is how rose usually viewed life. She was the eternal optimist. That doesnt mean in private she didnt have sad moments but generally speaking she tried to keep this optimistic, upbeat attitude toward life, and in addition to not being able to go to wellesley, her father sent her away to a prussian convent. Not because she was going to be a nun but because she had fallen in love with joseph kennedy. And that is part of the reason honey fitz sent her abroad. The kennedyed and fitzgeralds were not always political allies in boston so honey fitz was not completely approving of joe kennedy. They were rivals. Guest indeed. So this was a problem for roses father, to see her fall in love with, and som
Kennedy family since i was a little tyke. When i was four years of my mother took me and my brothers to downtown louisville kentucky. We live in the suburbs. Completely drawn to this new candid on the scene in the president ial race. Senator john f. Kennedy. Because he was catholic. I really do. I have to think that was a major part of it. In addition to which he was about her age, so there was that new generation to which the torch was being passed. Ill was point out that while she loved history and politics, she was not that active in grassroots politics and did not like driving downtown on very busy streets. I know that it was the charisma and probably catholicism and his handsome works. A pretty good looking guy. A goodlooking guy. Think she was drawn to that. She got theyre extra early with me as a 4yearold and my two older brothers and tow and put us right in front of the podium so that we would be sure to see him. So, my gosh. Thats great.
