Michelle: Her First Year as First Lady - Softcover

As the first African American woman to hold the title of first lady, Michelle Obama is already making her mark as a different kind of role model. The Washington Post, the newspaper of the nation’s capital, will be chronicling her year, her causes, her style, her involvement with government and the community, and how she changes the American image in other parts of the world. Post photographers and reporters will be there—on cultural outings in Washington, on diplomatic trips abroad—and will provide an unparalleled portrait of the new first lady as she makes the White House her home and the position her own.
