The election of Barack Obama has brought worldwide attention not
only to what his policies will be, but to what kind of First Lady
Michelle Obama will be. Throughout the long campaign season,
Michelle Robinson Obama garnered a good amount of attention, kudos
and criticism about her words, actions, even her appearance, but
few people know what kind of role she will play once she settles
into the White House. One clue is to examine her words and
statements of the past, and the proposed book "Michelle Obama In
Her Own Words" will show readers who are eager to learn more about
America's new history-making First Lady. "Michelle Obama In Her Own
Words" will be a book that contains 200-250 quotations arranged in
approximately 75 different categories. A short introduction and
biography of the new First Lady will precede the quotes. Drawing on
quotations from a variety of newspaper and magazine articles,
transcripts, speeches, and TV interviews and profiles, the
quotations date from Michelle's career as a high-powered corporate
lawyer in Chicago and her high-powered executive jobs in the
Chicago Mayor's office and at the University of Chicago, up through
the election of November 5th, 2008. Rogak locates and organizes the
funny, fascinating, inspiring (and occasionally controversial)
words of our future First Lady, on topics such as:
- Abortion
- Affirmative Action
- Balancing career and family
- Barack's safety
- Being compared to Jackie Onassis

- Her critics
- Her fashion sense
- Hillary Clinton
