书籍简介:
An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America—the first African American to serve in that role—she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama 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. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. 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.

书友短评:
@ Lainey 很无聊很不inspiring 童年没什么值得说的 上哈佛是人生高亮 28岁做了几年律师不喜欢遂辞职 接着在各种公共服务组织打转 后进了一个大学也是做类似的岗位(不是教书) 然后老公突然就选上总统了 埋怨一下失去privacy 讲养女儿的部分也是无病呻吟 @ 姜小白 在中国,很少有同学会因为你成绩考了第一就忍不住要攻击你,歧视女性;也不会因为肤色而被同龄的孩子区别对待;可女性的野心很容易止步于象牙塔,大环境温水煮青蛙,大家的野心就倾向于朝婚姻妥协了,姑娘们觉得不输给同性就是很不错了,跟男性竞争的人越来越少。Michelle幼儿园就揍了DeaDea;被性别歧视的那个小男孩打,她也打回去了;做好宁愿单身也要实现自我追求,遇到Barack后也并未妥协自我,Barac… @ Ann 更喜欢前半本书,尤其是奥巴马开始竞选之前,后来责任越大压力也越大,每一件事都做得艰难,不再自由,虽然影响力也更大。她本身是很inspiring的知识女性,克服了自己的和生活的种种困难,但为了家庭真是牺牲了很多。 @ sirius 前两部分特别好看。作为 minority 成长像极了 immigrant 的经历:喜欢跟自己同类的人相处,和主流社会不完全一致的成长经历。一个有趣的例子是 Michelle 住在芝加哥南部,却在25岁之前从来没去过 u Chicago。进了白宫后像 stump speech。 @ oowwl 有声书。听的时候有一半时间都在感叹,这好典型的摩羯女…… @ 木木夕 Great female example! @ imvicky 我觉得前半部分很有意思,其实当上了第一夫人之后也有意思,但是第二次选举开始我就没有那么的觉得很投入了。读过奥巴马的一本书,和这一本相比,我在想多么成功独立的女性在家庭这个事情上终究是得做出让步。虽然她之后通过第一夫人的平台可以继续做自己想要做的事,但其实这也是她妥协之后的自我调整。 @ Victoria_ma 长大了才知道 其实小孩子应该多读读人物传记 看看那些优秀或者说成功人士的人生经历是什么样子 可以帮助孩子开拓眼界 建立价值观 这本书是我的第一本全英文听完的书 陪伴我每天早上洗漱吃饭 Michelle的原声很平和 娓娓道来的感觉 从她小时候一直记叙到奥巴马结束任期 涉及的话题也很广 包括她的求学之路 工作经历 和奥巴马的相识 竞选和入主白宫的八年 Michelle的形象是一个非常聪明有主见的女性 … @ 飞机 贵在真实。前面开始的部分感觉挺平淡的,直到巴拉克出现。在米歇尔笔下的巴拉克确实是挺有魅力的。写到自己,米歇尔也写自己一路“墨守成规,争取优秀”这一点,虽然没有很有趣,但是感觉蛮熟悉的,所以反过来想也觉得挺真实,挺谦虚的。整个书也没有大肆吹嘘自己的成就,反倒是不断反思每个时期的思考和挣扎。到了后面成为第一夫人之后,讲的东西更有意思了。她讲到一个黑人第一夫人如何适应和塑造“第一夫人”这个形象,这一… @ Rachel M 未来应该会读第二遍的书
