Becoming- Michelle Obama

"Becoming" by Michelle Obama is a powerful and inspiring memoir that chronicles the former First Lady of the United States' life, from her childhood in Chicago to her years in the White House and beyond. In the book, Obama reflects on her personal journey of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment, offering readers an intimate look at her experiences as a woman, a mother, and a public figure.

The memoir is divided into three sections: Becoming Me, Becoming Us, and Becoming More, each focusing on different stages of her life. In Becoming Me, Michelle Obama recounts her early years growing up in the South Side of Chicago, her education at Princeton University and Harvard Law School, and the challenges she faced as an African American woman navigating predominantly white, elite spaces. She shares her struggles with identity, ambition, and finding her voice in a world that often expected her to conform.

Becoming Us focuses on her relationship with her husband, Barack Obama, their courtship, and their journey together through the ups and downs of his political career, culminating in his presidency. It highlights the sacrifices they both made, the balancing act of family life, and the challenges of raising two daughters in the public eye.
