About
From her youth on Chicago's South Side to her years at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as America's First Lady, and in the years that have followed, Michelle Obama has shown the world how to lead with kindness and grace. Revisit the glorious, historic era of the Obama White House-and the many roads traveled to get there-in LIFE Michelle Obama, a photo-filled biography and Special Edition featuring beautiful images and discerning text from the editors of LIFE. Follow Michelle's journey from her years under the tutelage of her mother, Marian, who encouraged her children to be thinkers, doers, and decision makers, to her time at Princeton, Harvard Law, and then back home to Chicago to work for the law firm Sidley Austin, where one fateful, rainy day in 1989, a young man named Barack walked through the door. Relive their romance, and their time in the Illinois Senate back in early aughts, before the Obamas would become a household and worldwide name. In the White House, Michelle would dedicate much of her time to ensuring the next generation of children lived a healthy, active lifestyle, and outside of it, she'd be recognized as a fashion icon on par with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
