Get inside the head of Michelle Obama: author, lawyer,
humanitarian, and the trailblazing first Black woman to serve as
First Lady of the United States. This collection of quotes has been
carefully curated from Michelle Obama's numerous public
statements-interviews, books, social media posts, television
appearances, and more. It's a comprehensive picture of her legacy
as one of America's most recognizable and influential women,
specifically geared toward middle and high school readers. The
quotes in the collection touch on education, friendship and
community, life lessons, America, the role of First Lady, making
change, inequality and injustice, and more. This edition includes
educational materials and resources for lesson plans designed to
provoke discussion and thought for readers in grades 7-12 about
Michelle Obama's ideas. Michelle Obama has been challenging others'
expectations since she was a young woman growing up on Chicago's
South Side. When a high school counselor told her, "I'm not sure
you're Princeton material," Obama graduated as the salutatorian and
went off to Princeton anyway. After graduating from Harvard Law
School, Obama spent several years as an attorney at a prestigious
Chicago law firm before committing her efforts to public service
and community outreach. When her husband, Barack Obama, was elected
president in 2008, she began a new chapter of her life as the first
Black woman to serve as First Lady of the United States of America.
While always conscious of the unique pressures and difficulties of
her role, Obama made it her mission to present her authentic self
to the American people. Her pride in and openness about the aspects
of her identity that made her unusual among First Ladies-including
her race, working-class upbringing, career path, and educational
achievement-made her a figure beloved by the general public. Since
emerging on the global stage, Obama has become a source of
inspiration for young people all over the world, largely due to her
engaging authenticity and candor. Now, Michelle Obama: In Her Own
Words offers a unique look into the mind of one of the world's most
influential women by collecting 200 of her most insightful quotes.
Meticulously curated from interviews, speeches, statements, and
other sources, Michelle Obama: In Her Own Words creates a
comprehensive picture of Michelle Obama, her wisdom, and her
legacy. Special educational materials for classrooms are available
from Agate Publishing.
