It was her self-empowering attitude that made her emerge from a frequently abusive and bleak looking upbringing to become one of the most influential people in the world. She developed such a strong personality that she was able to climb the rungs of broadcasting very quickly, even though very few African American women up to that time had become a major factor in the media.
The book I chose is ʻMichelle, A Biographyʼ written by Liza Mundy. In this biography, the reader is given a chance to learn about one of the most influential women in the twenty-first century. Using her own interview with Michelle Obama, family members and over a hundred others, Mundy, a Washington Post journalist, offers the story of a three-dimensional, living, breathing, and feeling individual who is different from the flat characterizations that accompany public life.

She creates an atmosphere of openness in the organizations she leads, deals with difficult issues in a straightforward manner, listens well and shares information fully.

She realized she could do anything she wanted and she wanted me (Meg) to recognize that I could do the same.” Meg Whitman became an Oprah-Like figure. Fortune Magazine twice named her (in 2004 and 2005) the most powerful women in the American Business. She was also featured in Forbes Magazine in its 2007 list of best Bosses for delivering “Superior returns to shareholders while not gorging on outrageous pay packages.” In 2009, Meg Whitman began her political career and ran for Governor of California. As a role model she hasn’t forgotten where she came from, how she got to where she is now and always looked back to see if she could help those who came from that same place.
