Michelle Obama: The First Lady in Photographs

Michelle Obama: The First Lady in Photographs

A stunning, visual biography of Michelle Obama that finally puts her phenomenal fame into a cultural and historical context we can all understand.
There has never been a First Lady like her before. While there have been a slew of Obama celebrity books, none contain the message of Deborah Willis and Emily Bernardâ€™s eye-opening book. With nearly 200 compelling photographs, these two noted scholars capture Michelle Obamaâ€™s dramatic transformation from working mother to First Lady, from her first tentative steps on the campaign trail to her spontaneous hug of the Queen, to her fairy-tale-like â€œdate nightâ€ on Broadway. Not since Jacqueline Kennedy has there been a First Lady who has so enchanted America, but in her down-to-earth dealings with all Americansâ€•schoolchildren, military families, and home gardeners alikeâ€•and in her diverse fashion taste, from J. Crew to Jason Wu, Michelle Obama is inexplicably all pearls, all business, all mother. The authors show how Michelle Obama represents the culmination of Americaâ€™s evolving views on women, race, motherhood, and beauty. Much more than a mere catalog of style, Michelle Obama is a remarkable pictorial story of one womanâ€™s hold on our imagination. 150 full-color photographs
