Description
A Best Seller Summary of an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States.
Warning! This is a summary book, intended to harmonize with Michelle Obama’s compelling memoir, not to replace it.
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic 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.
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.
A few comments, clearly identified italics and parentheses, with references, point out a few major points that Michelle left out, glossed over, or distorted. Michelle, on her promotional tour, for the best selling book of 2018, admitted to "Impostor Syndrome," otherwise known as "Fraud Syndrome." and we can see how her self-doubt associated with the color of her skin and South Side origin haunted her throughout her story. Some say her lucrative jobs were gifts arising from her connections and role in representing a wife and mother to a candidate that had to establish himself as a family man to win.There are also questions about the "series of lucky events" that unfolded in her husbands major elections. Some call them partisan rigging: involving favored and incumbent Democrat candidates stepping aside, and leaks to the news media from sealed court documents about dirt on opponents.
In any case, Becoming emerges as a compelling memoir about how a shy, sheltered Black girl from the South Side ended up in the White House as one of the most powerful women in the world.
