Memoirs from women at the top | The Book Case

Want more Michelle after reading her debut book? Good news: A memoir is in the works!

Whether you agree with the current presidential administration or not, odds are you like Michelle Obama; according to Gallup, 65% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the first lady. So, I thought many of you would appreciate a little tidbit I read at the bottom of a recent post on the New York Times? Caucus blog: ?According to aides, the first lady is already gathering material for the memoir she will write one day.?

Yippee! I know that a memoir written by a first lady is pretty much expected these days, but I won?t lie and say I?m not very excited about a book penned by Mrs. O.

Speaking of memoirs written by high-powered women, there are a couple more in the works that might be of interest to women trying to get their foot in the door at work.

Kate White, the soon-to-be-former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, has written a book called I Shouldn?t Be Telling You This: Success Secrets Every Gutsy Girl Should Know. HarperBusiness?who says the book is a ?straight-talking new career guide for women??will release the book on September 18. (By the way, White is also the author of the Bailey Weggins mystery series. Fans of those books should cheer her stepping down from Cosmo; she?s leaving to concentrate on writing.)

A week ago, Publishers Marketplace posted the news that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg will publish a book with Knopf in 2013. Called Lean In, it is a:

?call to action? on challenges facing women in the workplace, providing what she calls ?practical advice for women ? and the men who want to help them ? on how to lean in and close the gap? (via Publishers Marketplace)

Of course, Sandburg is just as famous for her advocacy for women in the workplace as she is for her top roles at Facebook and Google.

Do you enjoy business books and memoirs of how women rose to the top of their careers? Are you interested in Michelle Obama?s life story? Of all the many, many political memoirs out there, are there any you think that stand out from the crowd?

Eliza loves teen novels by Madeleine L'Engle, anything by Julia Glass and vintage Nancy Drew postcards. Her favorite hobby is reading.
