Michelle Obama: The First Lady In Photographs Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
A stunning, visual biography of Michelle Obama that finally puts her phenomenal fame into a cultural and historical context we can all understand. There has never been a First Lady like her before. While there have been a slew of Obama celebrity books, none contain the message of Deborah Willis and Emily Bernard’s eye-opening book. With nearly 200 compelling photographs, these two noted scholars capture Michelle Obama’s dramatic transformation from working mother to First Lady, from her first tentative steps on the campaign trail to her spontaneous hug of the Queen, to her fairy-tale-like “date night” on Broadway. Not since Jacqueline Kennedy has there been a First Lady who has so enchanted America, but in her down-to-earth dealings with all Americans―schoolchildren, military families, and home gardeners alike―and in her diverse fashion taste, from J. Crew to Jason Wu, Michelle Obama is inexplicably all pearls, all business, all mother. The authors show how Michelle Obama represents the culmination of America’s evolving views on women, race, motherhood, and beauty. Much more than a mere catalog of style, Michelle Obama is a remarkable pictorial story of one woman’s hold on our imagination. 150 full-color photographs

The book was shipped quickly. It was what I was looking for and it did not disappoint. I ordered this item to give as a gift to my aunt.She saw this book when we visited a friend of hers. She is going to be sooooo surprised when I give it to her for Christmas.
I highly recommend this book to each and every woman who needs encouragement in loosing weight, finding her indvidual style, a career, building self-confidence and anything else. It is a great confidence booster. Wonderful selection of acitivities are shown of the 1st lady being involved in and styles for the 1st lady are represented beautifully in this book. Buy it; you will not be sorry.
This is a fantastic book. It has great, color pictures of the First Lady and some of the Obama family, as well. The information is good - not too little, but not too much. There's just enough to give you some interesting information about Michelle Obama. The first Black family in the White House creates curiousity, and this book answers some questions in a frank, honest, and complimentary way. I think Michelle Obama has made the position of First Lady relateable to the average working woman/wife/mother, etc....; this book shows that.
I gave this as a gift to one of my dearest friends. The quality is amazing. The pictures are beautiful. And they are all on glossy pages. She is going to keep it on display in her curio. She hopes one day to have it signed by the First Lady herself. It is a stunning book.
Bought it as a gift for a luncheon. The lady that won it was very pleased.
