Yet Rosemary was intellectually disabled, a secret fiercely guarded by the Kennedys. Using new sources\u2014Rose Kennedy\u2019s diaries and correspondence, letters from Rosemary\u2019s teachers and doctors, and exclusive family interviews\u2014 Larson brings Rosemary alive as a girl adored but challenged to keep pace with her competitive siblings. The Hidden Kennedy Daughter shows both the sensitive care Rose and Joe gave to Rosemary and then\u2014as the family\u2019s stature grew\u2014the often desperate and duplicitous arrangements they made to keep her out of the public eye as she became increasingly difficult in her early twenties. An experimental lobotomy gone terribly wrong left her incapable of living independently. Rosemary\u2019s story is more than a tragedy long hidden for generations. It reveals the central role she played in the shaping of one of our nation\u2019s most famous families, inspiring her siblings to direct attention to the plight of the disabled and transform the lives of millions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Kate Clifford Larson<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/KATE-LARSON-author-photo-PR-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/KATE-LARSON-author-photo-PR-2-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/KATE-LARSON-author-photo-PR-2-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/11\/KATE-LARSON-author-photo-PR-2-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Dr. Kate Clifford Larson is a <i>New York Times<\/i> and <i>Wall Street Journal<\/i> best-selling author of critically acclaimed biographies, including <i>Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman<\/i>, <i>Portrait of an American Hero<\/i>, the first deeply researched full length biography of the American icon since 1943; <i>Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter<\/i>; and <i>The Assassin's Accomplice: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Abraham<\/i>.
