American noted family, the first child of Robert and Ethel Kennedy and the first grandchild of Joseph and Rose Kennedy. A student activist at Harvard during the Vietnam war years, she marched on Washington, worked for McGovern in 1972, became a devout feminist, and hitchhiked alone through Greece. She married a doctoral student, David Townsend and followed him to Mexico where he was teaching. Kathleen went to law school, and on 1/31/1986, announced her candidacy for Congress, becoming the first Kennedy woman to stand for public office. Along the way, she had two kids by natural childbirth.
