Rent Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope

Synopsis

Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope examines the astonishing story of a woman whose intellect, verbal ability, and poise are certain to make her one of the most intriguing and influential First Ladies in history. A woman some have touted as a potential future presidential candidate herself. A woman whose now famous statement, "For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country," did her husband's campaign no good.

From Michelle Obama's undergraduate years at Princeton, where she majored in African Studies, to her studies at Harvard Law School, this book examines her remarkable education and career, her role as her husband's closest adviser, and her political beliefs. Michelle first met Barack Obama when she was asked to serve as his mentor at a prestigious Chicago law firm where they were the only African-Americans. For her, family comes first; reportedly she insisted that Barack quit smoking in exchange for her wholehearted support for his candidacy. A Chicago native, she has attracted much media attention for her candor—a trait that will be worth watching once she's in the White House.
