As the world marks International Women’s Day on March 8, a quote by former US first lady Michelle Obama continues to resonate: “If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.” Published in 2018, Michelle’s ‘Becoming’ became one of the most successful memoirs in recent years.
