Michelle Obama Book: The Biography of Michelle Obama

University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history’s most compelling figures: Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama used to ride the city bus across Chicago every day to reach her high school an hour away, only to be told by her teachers that she would never get into an Ivy League school like Princeton. They were wrong. And the rest is history. How did Michelle Obama gain wisdom from her family, grapple with her father’s illness, overcome discrimination, get accepted to Princeton University, graduate from Harvard Law School, marry Barack Obama, raise two daughters, become First Lady of the United States, and remain Gallup’s “Most Admired Woman in America” every year since 2018? This short book tells the intensely human story of a woman who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
