En savoir plus sur le livre
Richly detailed and inspiring, this account explores the life of an unlikely first lady, an African American woman from a modest background. Born on January 17, 1964, just months after Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama grew up on the South Side of Chicago. Her father, a city water-plant worker, battled multiple sclerosis, while her mother worked as a secretary. Through meticulous reporting, Peter Slevin traces Michelle's journey from her family life and high school years to her graduation from Princeton University and Harvard Law School amid the racial tensions of the late 1970s and early '80s. He details her time as a corporate lawyer at Sidley & Austin in Chicago, where she met Barack Obama, and her struggles to balance motherhood, marriage, and her career. As Barack pursued the presidency, Michelle played a vital role in his election, navigating the challenges of two presidential campaigns and their time in the White House. Throughout, she emerged as a champion for social issues, advocating for military families, fighting obesity, and serving as a key adviser to her husband.
