Publisher Description
Inspiring insights, advice, and style for every woman who admires the popular and poised First Lady Michelle Obama
Embodying style, class, and intelligence, Michelle Obama has quickly become an American icon. Rising from modest beginnings, she went on to earn an Ivy League education, a position at a top law firm, and a pivotal role beside President Barack Obama. Yet Michelle still faces the same issues as most women today. As they watch her juggle kids, marriage, and a seemingly nonstop calendar without breaking a sweat, American women are asking, What Would Michelle Do?
Award-winning Newsweek journalist Allison Samuels, who has interviewed the First Lady numerous times, follows the trajectory of Michelle's life to illustrate the determination, intellect, and charm that drove her success-and reveals how women can incorporate those same attributes to get everything Michelle has, from her toned arms to her grace under pressure to her happy marriage. With the 2012 elections looming, Michelle continues to be in the public's eye. Covering a range of lifestyle topics-from creating a distinctive style to conquering obstacles to managing a household-What Would Michelle Do? combines solid advice with a fun package that will appeal to style mavens, soccer moms, and career women alike.
Customer Reviews
Pastor/Business owner/CEO of a maternity home for teenage girls
I truly enjoyed this book. It provided great insights for me on how to fulfill my purpose with the many hats I wear as wife of a Bishop, being a Pastor, business owner, and CEO of House of Esther Ministries ( a maternity home for teenage pregnant girls 14-18 years old since 2003)
First Lady Michelle has always been astonishing to me and has been a beacon of hope for women of color of all ages. Her values, strength and perseverance encourages us to aim high.
It was encouraging to read a book so well written and balanced. The writer stayed on the subject and didn't veer off into personal tangents.
I chose this book as assigned reading for a group of 20 women leaders ( ages 25-40) that I am mentoring in my church called "My Sister's Keeper". We will be discussing the book in its entirety to discuss the leadership nuggets (from First Lady Michelle's life) that will help shape them in their God given-purpose.
Thank you again for such a good read and possibly looking forward to a part 2 of First Lady's journey from her next four years in the White House (smile)
Very Good Read
What would Michelle Do?
Though Michelle Obama has had many books published about her over the past few years, this newly crafted book by journalist Allison Samuels What Would Michelle Do? succeeds by telling the story without the bias found in many of Michelle's "biographies". Furthermore, many political novels can be tedious reads, but Allison Samuel's manages to present the First Lady's life and success with a writing style that is witty, interesting, and above all memorable.
This is a book that women of all ages can enjoy, and one that answers many of the questions about how Michelle Obama manages to do EVERYTHING so well, with seemingly no difficult. Whether its discussing fashion, her family, or her busy work schedule, a reader gets the feeling that Michelle is a very relatable, funny, and enjoyable person. I would definitely recommend this book for any fans of Michelle who are interested in seeing her life through the eyes of a qualitative third party. Definitely worth picking up!
