A granddaughter of President John F Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Schlossberg was the second child of Caroline Kennedy, a former US ambassador to Australia and Japan, and Edwin Schlossberg, an artist and designer. After leaving the Times in 2017, Schlossberg began freelancing and, in 2019, published Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have. Her mother was only 5 when her father, President Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. As a freelance journalist, Schlossberg contributed to publications including The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Vanity Fair. While battling cancer, Schlossberg held her profession up as a point of pride.
