An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States

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.

The Obamas currently live in Washington, DC, and have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

很真实、有共鸣，米歇尔敢于展示脆弱一面：原来她也有过职业迷茫、小镇青年压力、理想与现实的交战。她擅长感受和反思生活，许多小细节都很值得玩味：比如她与哥哥就他们父亲葬礼装饰产生的争吵，其实很能看出他们分别是怎样的人（米歇尔觉得对不起父亲，所以想办隆重葬礼补偿，而他哥哥更在意他们父亲真正想要什么）。而米歇尔由按部就班的好学生（甚至因为上好大学而跟高中恋人分手，又在大学男友弃医做球队吉祥物时甩掉他），开…

【有声书】我的人生道路曾与Michelle Obama交错过一次：2015年夏天我在哈佛法律援助局实习时的办公室和Michelle1986年实习时的办公室是同一个。整个夏天，我一抬眼就能看见办公室墙上的她的海报。不过我并不特别喜欢她，因为她太traditionalist，太不女权，太喜欢说“I am not a political person,” 和Barack Obama或者RBG比起来太不够…

非常政治正確的家庭觀。她本人真的是一個非常令人尊敬的有獨立思考精神的女性。

更喜欢前半本书，尤其是奥巴马开始竞选之前，后来责任越大压力也越大，每一件事都做得艰难，不再自由，虽然影响力也更大。她本身是很inspiring的知识女性，克服了自己的和生活的种种困难，但为了家庭真是牺牲了很多。
