Becoming

Becoming is Michelle Obama’s 2018 memoir, structured around the stages “Becoming Me,” “Becoming Us,” and “Becoming More.” With candour and humour, she recounts her childhood on Chicago’s South Side, education at Princeton and Harvard Law School, early professional life, marriage and motherhood, her husband Barack Obama’s political rise, and eight years as First Lady of the United States. It is a personal story of identity, ambition, family, public service, and finding one’s voice.
