Becoming

她是勞工階級出身的女兒，也是美國第一夫人。
是有色人種黑奴後代，也是畢業於哈佛的執業律師。

蜜雪兒‧歐巴馬，美國夢的完美實踐。
勇於突破性別、種族和階級的藩籬，
如今寫下回憶錄，為所有曾處於弱勢的人們，帶來希望。



蜜雪兒‧歐巴馬(Michelle Obama)，祖父的祖父是黑奴，父親則是勞工。
成為美國史上首位非裔第一夫人。
許多人對她的認知，仍是「歐巴馬的妻子」。
但其實，鮮少人知道蜜雪兒本身是哈佛法學院畢業的律師。

在丈夫帶領美國走過那些不安的日子，她與他並肩。
兩個女兒在無情媒體的放大檢視下，更是保持溫和有禮。

一路走來，無論何種身分：律師、母親、第一夫人，
蜜雪兒的人生意義和成就，讓她成為當代最具代表性的女性之一。

 
在《Becoming》這本回憶錄中，蜜雪兒‧歐巴馬回首自己的人生，娓娓向大家道出她的故事。
她將帶讀者進入她的世界，一步步回顧過往如何塑造她今日的模樣。

從待在芝加哥南方的童年開始說起，一直到她兼顧母職與律師、兩個世界上最吃力的工作的那些日子。
此外，也會提及她隨丈夫入主白宮後，以第一夫人身分行走各國的見聞。
 
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.
