具体描述
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.

读后感
过去一年时常会想起这本书，尤其是作者从法学院毕业到白宫之前的那段时光，写得非常动人。 印象很深的点： 一是米歇尔在遇到奥巴马之前从未想过自己会放弃律师生涯，如果没遇到他，她可能就是个一步步实现阶级跃迁的成功女合伙人。可以说奥巴马的言行举止影响了她，使她开始思...
评分上学的时候，我身边总有一些看起来很优秀的女生，不管是说话做事还是行为举止，表现得跟身边的同龄人都不太一样，我曾特意观察过她们，发现她们在待人接物、和人打交道方面都展现出游刃有余的一面。 我是在一次次小事上意识到我们之间的差距的。 譬如，我们一起报班学日语，我...
评分P.s. Thank god Douban hasn't shut down the book review function. When I first came up with the idea of reading this book, what interests me is the fact that Michelle doesn't like "politics" herself. Later, in this whole book, you'll see so many times she de...
评分我的人生里，妈妈对我支持最大，我必然应该是一位feminist，可经常在各处生活细节里发现自己歧视女性。 Feminism是一个复杂切边界容易模糊的话题，很多女性，认为能掌管老公的工资卡是一件很值得骄傲的事情，可以是公共场合的谈资。经常被身边的人吐槽容易上纲上线，我喜欢批评...

Best eight years. It was the end of an era. Thanks for sharing.
评分非常政治正確的家庭觀。她本人真的是一個非常令人尊敬的有獨立思考精神的女性。
评分平淡吧。除了媒体勉强报道的几个标题党也真是没什么了。Michelle的家教很像典型的开明严格亚洲家长。成长也很像ABC啊所以单看并没有什么惊奇的。写到遇见奥巴马之后都像是奥巴马的传记了，也真的没办法，这么杰出的一个女人的生活变成了围绕别人转，只因为奥巴马实在更出色。当然作为第一夫人来说她真的是做得很不错，几个initiative都很成功，但是这些我们都知道了嘛。所以成功和story worthy 并不需要很大关系
评分極其開誠佈公的回憶錄。Michelle不愧是當今女權的標竿。平庸的出身和不懈的努力造就了她。她敢於直面遭受過的不公平的人身和人格攻擊，但是仍然可以用冷靜和理性的態度回應。They go low , we go high. 從字裡行間中可以感受到她對Barack深厚的愛和支持，但同時絲毫沒有放棄自己的事業和夢想。沒有Michelle就不會有Barack。她認清丈夫參選總統是他的責任而不是榮譽。作為第一夫人她完全清楚她的一言一行對公眾造成的影響，也沒有因為成為第一夫人而產生天經地義的優越感。時時刻刻對身邊幫助過她的人抱有感恩的心。她對政治的厭惡立場堅定，但仍然提倡以積極向上的態度去面對反對和質疑的聲音。有幸在華府參加了她的書會並意外見到Barack本人。推薦她親自讀的有聲書，非常親切。
评分不管是普林斯顿和哈佛的学位、律师的头衔、光鲜的事业、第一夫人的身份等等，都不曾掩盖生活中真实的酸涩与挣扎——了解名人如何跟你一样苦逼纠结过从而获得安慰或者鼓励，难道不是我们阅读这类书的重要原因之一吗？ 对我这种生在不好也不差的家庭、过得不好也不坏的人而言，她的个人成长、情感变化等等还挺能让我产生共鸣。一个身份和权力如此特殊的精英分子，能让很多普通读者共情，算是一种文字表达能力与人类共性一同作用的结果。 我很喜欢看米歇尔在奥巴马从政后，处在一个伴侣和母亲的位置所产生的复杂情绪——实际上她从未掩饰过自己对政治的不感兴趣，很长的时间内都没有太支持丈夫的仕途。人们对权势的追逐如此理所当然，太容易忘记作为一个个体更重要的需求。因此看到她的挣扎和她与奥巴马就此进行的沟通与妥协，让人有耳目一新之感。
