Former First Lady Michelle Obama recently shared her thoughts on the possibility of a woman in the White House. While promoting her new book, “The Look,” Mrs. Obama suggested that America might not be quite ready to elect a woman as president.
Speaking to an audience, she pointed to the recent election where Kamala Harris was defeated by Donald Trump, as evidence. Mrs. Obama expressed her belief that many men in the country are not yet comfortable with female leadership.
In her new book, Mrs. Obama reflects on her personal style journey and the scrutiny she faced regarding her appearance during her time as First Lady. She notes that women in politics are often judged more on their looks than their abilities.
Mrs. Obama hopes her book will encourage people to think about how we see ourselves and how society defines beauty. Her comments spark an important conversation about the progress still needed in our country regarding gender and leadership.
