From her first moments on the public stage, she has challenged traditional American notions about what it means to be beautiful, to be strong, to be fashion-conscious, to be healthy, to be First Mom, to be a caretaker and hostess, and to be partner to the most powerful man in the world. What is remarkable is that, at 52, she is just getting started. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many books have looked at Michelle Obama from a fashion perspective, no book has fully explored what she means to our culture. \u003ci\u003eThe Meaning of Michelle\u003c\/i\u003e does just that, while offering a parting gift to a landmark moment in American history. In addition to a tribute to Michelle Obama, this book is also a rollicking, lively dinner party conversation about race, class, marriage, creativity, womanhood and what it means to be American today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors include: Ava DuVernay, Veronica Chambers, Benilde Little, Damon Young, Alicia Hall Moran and Jason Moran, Brittney Cooper, Ylonda Gault Caviness, Chirlane McCray, Cathi Hanauer, Tiffany Dufu, Tanisha Ford, Marcus Samuelsson, Sarah Lewis, Karen Hill Anton, Rebecca Carroll, Phillipa Soo, and Roxane Gay\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVERONICA CHAMBERS\u003c\/b\u003e is a prolific writer and the author of the critically acclaimed memoir \u003ci\u003eMama's Girl. \u003c\/i\u003eA contributor to several anthologies, including the bestselling\u003ci\u003e Bitch in the House, s\u003c\/i\u003ehe's been a senior editor at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine, Glamour, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e.
