Michelle Obama

About

Raised on the South Side of Chicago before going on to study at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Michelle Obama defined herself early on as an individual whose social consciousness would help steer her moral compass. After meeting Barack Obama, Michelle would serve as the First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. Michelle Obama's memoir, Becoming, was released in 2018 and the book's self reflective narrative and urbane tone helped further the former first lady's standing as one of the more compelling public figures of the 21st century.
