Sommaire:
se erigi? en destacada defensora de las mujeres y las ni?as en Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo, introdujo cambios dr?sticos encaminados a promover una vida saludable y activa en las familias, y acompa?? a su esposo cuando el pa?s atravesaba algunos de los momentos m?s desgarradores de su historia. Por el camino nos ense?? pasos de baile, caus? furor en Carpool Karaoke y consigui? criar a dos hijas con los pies en la tierra bajo el implacable escrutinio de los medios de comunicaci?n.

En sus memorias, profundamente reflexivas y cautivadoras, Michelle Obama invita al lector a entrar en su mundo relatando las experiencias que han forjado su car?cter, desde su infancia en la zona sur de Chicago, hasta los a?os que vivi? en la residencia m?s famosa del mundo, pasando por su etapa como alta directiva, durante la que tuvo que compaginar la maternidad con la vida profesional. Haciendo gala de una honestidad a toda prueba y de un ingenio vivaz, describe sus logros y decepciones tanto en la esfera p?blica como en la privada, y narra sin ambages la historia de su vida, con sus propias palabras y en sus propios t?rminos.

C?lido, l?cido y revelador, Becoming es un relato excepcionalmente ?ntimo de una mujer de gran moralidad y val?a, que una vez y otra ha superado todas las expectativas y cuya historia nos inspira a seguir su ejemplo.

An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States

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, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing 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....
