While many books have looked at Michelle Obama from a style perspective, none has fully explored what she means to our culture. The Meaning of Michelle does just that, while offering a parting gift to a landmark moment in American history. It is also a rollicking, lively conversation about race, class, marriage, creativity, womanhood and what it means to be American today.
