MICHELLE OBAMA: FIRST LADY OF HOPE

Book ID/图书代码： 05170008B23836

English Summary/英文概要： There is no one quite like her. Michelle Obama. This is the first book to tell the astonishing story of a woman whose intellect, verbal flair, and poise are certain to make her one of the most influential First Ladies in history. A woman whose remark, “For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country,” did her husband’s campaign no good. A woman whose impassioned speech to the Democratic National Convention may have helped win him the Oval Office. A woman touted as a future presidential candidate herself.

Readers are given a revealing and intimate look at Michelle Obama’s remarkable life—from her Chicago childhood to her education at Princeton and Harvard, from how she first met Barack Obama at the prestigious law firm where they were the only African-Americans, to her role as his closest adviser, and to her own political beliefs. For Michelle, family comes first, and—like so many women who struggle between family and career—she seriously weighed her husband’s presidential ambitions before giving her stamp of approval. Apparently she struck a hard bargain: he had to give up smoking.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 繼賈桂琳．甘迺迪以來最年輕，也是首位黑裔總統夫人。不僅是對歐巴馬競選幫助相當大，也預料將是有史以來最具有影響力的美國第一夫人。

黑人藍領階級家庭長大的蜜雪兒，是個普林斯頓大學畢業，擁有哈佛法學博士學位，獨立的女強人。現在是芝加哥大學附屬醫院社區與對外事務副總監。身為第一夫人的她將對美國甚至是全世界造成重要影響。

這是第一本呈現這位不平凡的女性的各面向的人生經驗、生活哲學，包括在芝加哥度過的童年時光、普林斯頓與哈佛的求學經歷、以及與歐巴馬相遇相戀的過程等。(VC)
