Becoming

Former First Lady Michelle Obama ’85 chronicles her life, from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her time in the White House, in her new bestselling memoir Becoming (Crown Publishing Group). Reflective and honest, her stories about the demands of motherhood and work, her public and private disappointments, and her advocacy for women and girls around the world provide a powerful depiction of a woman who has defied expectations and lived life on her own terms.
