I loved this! So inspiring and also such an interesting look into Michelle Obama's life. I was a little bored during her childhood, but ultimately I think that it provided important context for the rest of the book.

even if I may have my issues with her husband, michelle obama’s memoir is a hopeful sort of time capsule of how the world was and could be. while coming off a bit sanitized at times, it still made for a good read that provided interesting insights on not only her life before and in the white house. I wish there’d been more material about the second term and what comes after, but again, interesting and motivating throughout

Wow. Was für eine Frau! Frau Obama hat mich wirklich beeindruckt. Ich habe vor Jahren Frau Clintons Biografie abgebrochen, weil die nur aus Namedropping bestand und in jeder Zeile betont wurde, wie viele tolle wichtige Leute sie kennt und was sie alles tolles erreicht hat. Michelle Obama - die natürlich auch selbst nie politisch aktiv werden wolle - berichtet einfach nur über ihr Leben. Sie spielt nicht herunter, was sie erreicht hat, aber sie ist sich immer bewußt, wieviel Anteil an ihrer Karriere auch ihre Eltern und die erweiterte Familie hatten. Sehr interessant fand ich auch den Einblick in die schwarze Community in den USA, von der ich als weiße Mitteleuropäerin so gar keine Ahnung habe. Falls Du das Buch noch nicht gelesen - oder in meinem Fall gehört- hast - hol das ganz schnell nach! Das Buch ist sehr, sehr, sehr inspirierend!

I surprisingly really enjoyed this. I started this as a ‘it feels like something everyone should read’ book, but found myself genuinely engaged and inspired. It made the perfect audiobook (narrated by Michelle herself) although some chapters were particularly long.
It’s the perfect blend of informative, personal, and bite sized politics for those among us who can imagine nothing worse than a full-on political memoir.
