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.
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.
The Obamas currently live in Washington, DC, and have two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
上学的时候,我身边总有一些看起来很优秀的女生,不管是说话做事还是行为举止,表现得跟身边的同龄人都不太一样,我曾特意观察过她们,发现她们在待人接物、和人打交道方面都展现出游刃有余的一面。 我是在一次次小事上意识到我们之间的差距的。 譬如,我们一起报班学日语,我...
评分米歇尔·奥巴马的回忆录《成为》(Becoming, 2018)已经成为超级畅销书。我用收听的方式浏览过后,第一反应是米歇尔亲自上阵的诵读极有可能得到格莱美奖有声读物类的提名,但内容本身很难满足读者的好奇心。书中讲到从她跟奥巴马在芝加哥律师楼相识一直到成为白宫主人期间的绝大...
评分 评分过去一年时常会想起这本书,尤其是作者从法学院毕业到白宫之前的那段时光,写得非常动人。 印象很深的点: 一是米歇尔在遇到奥巴马之前从未想过自己会放弃律师生涯,如果没遇到他,她可能就是个一步步实现阶级跃迁的成功女合伙人。可以说奥巴马的言行举止影响了她,使她开始思...
有声书。听的时候有一半时间都在感叹,这好典型的摩羯女……
评分很无聊很不inspiring 童年没什么值得说的 上哈佛是人生高亮 28岁做了几年律师不喜欢遂辞职 接着在各种公共服务组织打转 后进了一个大学也是做类似的岗位(不是教书) 然后老公突然就选上总统了 埋怨一下失去privacy 讲养女儿的部分也是无病呻吟
评分Best eight years. It was the end of an era. Thanks for sharing.
评分小学生作文,不过自传嘛……唔,很难出彩,可能因为这个人本身也不出彩,就更没有可看性了,如果你不是黑人女性的话
评分Spot on. Great timing. Worth revisiting. And most important, nothing like the likes of Lean In, GUARANTEED.
