IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS In a life filled with
meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of
the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of
the United States of America--the first African American to serve
in that role--she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive
White House in history, while also establishing herself as a
powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the
world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue
healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as
he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along
the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke,
and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media
glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing
storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world,
chronicling the experiences that have shaped her--from her
childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive
balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at
the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively
wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both
public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it--in
her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory,
Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and
substance who has steadily defied expectations--and whose story
inspires us to do the same. Michelle Robinson Obama served as First
Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A graduate of
Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Mrs. Obama started her
career as an attorney at the Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin,
where she met her future husband, Barack Obama. She later worked in
the Chicago mayor's office, at the University of Chicago, and at
the University of Chicago Medical Center. Mrs. Obama also founded
the Chicago chapter of Public Allies, an organization that prepares
young people for careers in public service. Categorii: Biografii,
