Michelle Obama: The Transformation from a South Side Girl to First Lady

Abstract

Michelle Robinson Obama, the wife of Barack Obama, the current, 44th President of the United States, the mother of two daughters, by all means has become a well-recognized and sometimes heavily-criticized contemporary icon of American society. These days several newly edited books, hundreds of articles and reports have been circulating about the First Lady commenting on issues ranging from her latest political speeches to her fashion style. [...] Her life is the true realization of the American Dream; the embodiment of racial heritage, prejudices and endless opportunities that the nation could offer to its citizens.
