Obama
» from page 1

The former First Lady's
much-anticipated memoir,
Becoming, will be published
in the U.S. and Canada on
November 13, by Crown, a
division of Penguin Random
House, and will be released simultaneously in 24 languages.
Considered one of the most
popular first ladies of recent
times, Obama, in her book,
invites readers into her world,
chronicling the experiences that have shaped
her - from her childhood on the south side of
Chicago to her years as an executive balancing
the demands of motherhood and work - to her
time spent at the world's most famous address.

Writing Becoming
"allowed me, for the very
first time, the space to
honestly reflect on the
unexpected trajectory
of my life. I hope my
journey inspires readers
to find the courage to
become whoever they
aspire to be."

Warm, wise, and revelatory,
Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman
of soul and substance who has
steadily defied expectations -
and whose story inspires us to
do the same.
Obama has described writing Becoming as "a deeply personal experience. It has allowed
me, for the very first time, the
space to honestly reflect on the
unexpected trajectory of my
life. I hope my journey inspires
readers to find the courage to
become whoever they aspire to be. I can't wait
to share my story."
A product of Chicago public schools,
Obama studied sociology and African-American studies at Princeton University and is a
graduate of Harvard Law School. She started
her career as an attorney at the Chicago law
firm Sidley & Austin, where she met her
future husband, Barack Obama. She later
worked in the Chicago mayor's office, at the
University of Chicago, and at the University
of Chicago Medical Center. Mrs. Obama also
founded the Chicago chapter of Public Allies,
an organization that prepares young people for
careers in public service.
