Michelle Obama Libros

"Michelle Obama es ejemplo de que, con perseverancia y esfuerzo, no hay límites. Este es un relato honesto y fascinante de su vida dirigido a jóvenes lectores a quienes ella pregunta: "¿Quién eres y qué quieres llegar a ser?". Michelle nació en la zona sur de Chicago. De origen humilde, llegó a estudiar en la Universidad de Princeton y, más adelante, se graduó en derecho en Harvard. La vida le cambió por completo cuando su esposo, Barack Obama, llegó a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos y ella tuvo que aprender a conjugar su faceta de mujer trabajadora, esposa y madre, con la de Primera Dama. Los Obama son la primera familia afroamericana en ocupar la Casa Blanca y sirvieron al país durante dos mandatos. Aquella chica de modestos orígenes no solo llegaría a ser la Primera Dama de los Estados Unidos, sino que sigue siendo una inspiración y ejemplo para personas de todas las edades, pero en especial para los jóvenes que gracias a ella saben que no hay límites para sus sueños"--provided by publisher

Un íntimo, poderoso e inspirador libro de memorias de la exprimera dama de Estados Unidos. Protagonista de una vida plena y exitosa, Michelle Obama se ha convertido en una de las mujeres más icónicas y cautivadoras de nuestra era. Como primera dama de los Estados Unidos de América, y primera afroamericana en desempeñar esa función, contribuyó a que la Casa Blanca alcanzara sus mayores cotas de apertura y pluralidad de la historia; se erigió en destacada defensora de las mujeres y las niñas en Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo, introdujo cambios drásticos encaminados a promover una vida saludable y activa en las familias, y acompañó a su esposo cuando el país atravesaba algunos de los momentos más desgarradores de su historia. Por el camino nos enseñó pasos de baile, causó furor en Carpool Karaoke y consiguió criar a dos hijas con los pies en la tierra bajo el implacable escrutinio de los medios de comunicación. En sus memorias, profundamente reflexivas y cautivadoras, Michelle Obama invita al lector a entrar en su mundo relatando las experiencias que han forjado su carácter, desde su infancia en la zona sur de Chicago, hasta los años que vivió en la residencia más famosa del mundo, pasando por su etapa como alta directiva, durante la que tuvo que compaginar la maternidad con la vida profesional. Haciendo gala de una honestidad a toda prueba y de un ingenio vivaz, describe sus logros y decepciones tanto en la esfera pública como en la privada, y narra sin ambages la historia de su vida, con sus propias palabras y en sus propios términos. Cálido, lúcido y revelador, Becoming es un relato excepcionalmente íntimo de una mujer de gran moralidad y valía, que una vez y otra ha superado todas las expectativas y cuya historia nos inspira a seguir su ejemplo.
