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 评分成为自己的秘密 彭思萌 我曾经非常困惑,为什么无数作家会反复书写青春期这么一段尴尬时期而读者甚众。于我而言那是一段灰暗而懵懂的日子,模模糊糊感觉着似乎许多事情在周围的同学身上发生,这些秘密却与我毫无关系。后来我明白了,我是一个异类,一个严厉管束下晚熟的女孩,...
评分图书标签: 女性 传记 米歇尔奥巴马 英文原版 自传 美国 传记-回忆录 Becoming
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.
Education can take a person far
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。
评分前两部分特别好看。作为 minority 成长像极了 immigrant 的经历:喜欢跟自己同类的人相处,和主流社会不完全一致的成长经历。一个有趣的例子是 Michelle 住在芝加哥南部,却在25岁之前从来没去过 u Chicago。进了白宫后像 stump speech。
评分米歇尔自己读的有声书。前面故事就很平淡。就是黑人社区里的绩优生,哥哥也是拿篮球奖学金进普林斯顿。说穷也只是穷到只能开别克的地步了。和Trevor Noah在种族隔离制度下长大的故事怎么比啊……和《乡下人悲歌》类似,美国人地板太高,起点太高。让我们第三世界长大的人民好难代入。后面更垮。整体失望。
