DESCRIPTION:
In her broad assessment, Mundy considers seriously, if not conclusively, questions raised by some of Michelle's now-infamous (and oft-misquoted) statements about her pride in America, as well as the controversy surrounding the Obamas' former pastor. All rights reserved. The product of humble Chicago origins, Princeton and Harvard Law educations and a fierce sense of self, Michelle suddenly found herself defending her background and career, her husband's campaign, the couple's role as parents, and her own personal philosophies and pronouncements in front of a national audience. .

The biggest strengths as well as weaknesses of the forty-four-year old attorney-at-law, mother of two, and alumnus of Princeton University and Harvard Law School can be found within its just under two. A compilation of data from public records and speculation I was really excited to have an opportunity to read about Michelle Obama's life. How did she get to Princeton? Harvard? As a woman and an African American she's an amazing person and I wanted to know more. This book did not answer my questions. Instead, it started with a history of Chicago. The author speculated in this portion of the book that Michelle's family lived in this house or neighborhood "according to voter registration" records. It moves (slowly) into Michelle's younger years and gives a history of the high school she attended but, again, doesn't tell you much mo
She lives in Arlington, Virginia. . A longtime award-winning reporter for The Washington Post, she is currently a Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation. Liza Mundy is the bestselling author of Michelle: A Biography and Everything Conceivable
