_______________________________
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. She dramatically changed the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and stood 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.

Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America, ended his second—and final—term in office on January 20th, 2017.
For eight years, President Obama, along with then-First Lady Michelle Obama, worked to define a new America; a better nation: one that was more inclusive, prosperous and forward-looking than previous administrations. They emphasized the importance of an educated and engaged population, and achieved much in their time in leadership. But much work remains to be done.
Collected herein are the Obama’s final speeches as the nation’s leaders, reminding Americans of the grace, intellect and moral courage with which they guided the country through two terms in the White House. Ultimately, Be Vigilant, But Not Afraid is simply a reflection of what it means to be in civil service, with the goal of serving the interests of the people.

O íntimo, poderoso e inspirador livro de memórias da ex-Primeira-Dama dos Estados Unidos.
Protagonista de uma vida plena e bem-sucedida, Michelle Obama tornou-se numa das mulheres mais emblemáticas e incontornáveis da nossa era.
Como Primeira-dama dos Estados Unidos da América, e primeira afro-americana a desempenhar esse papel, ajudou a criar a Casa Branca mais acolhedora e inclusiva da história, ao mesmo tempo que se estabeleceu como uma poderosa defensora de mulheres e meninas nos EUA e em todo o mundo, mudando drasticamente a forma como as famílias procuram uma vida mais saudável e activa, estando sempre ao lado do marido enquanto este conduzia os destinos dos EUA, acompanhando alguns dos seus momentos mais angustiantes.
Ao longo do caminho, Michelle Obama mostrou-nos ainda alguns passos de dança, deu-nos a conhecer a sua mestria no Karaoke, e criou duas filhas sob uma pressão mediática implacável.
Nas suas memórias, uma obra de reflexão profunda e uma narrativa fascinante, Michelle Obama convida os leitores a entrar no seu mundo, relatando as experiências que a moldaram -- desde a infância na zona sul de Chicago, passando pelos anos como executiva, equilibrando as exigências da maternidade e o trabalho, até ao tempo passado no endereço mais famoso do mundo.
Com honestidade e inteligência, descreve os seus triunfos e decepções, públicas e privadas, contando a história completa de como viveu, nas suas próprias palavras.
Terno, sábio e revelador, BECOMING é um relato íntimo de uma mulher de alma e substância que desafiou constantemente as expectativas - e cuja história nos inspira a fazer o mesmo.
