    A courageous female journalist’s classic exposé of the horrific treatment of the mentally ill in nineteenth-century America In 1887, Nellie Bly accepted an assignment from publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and went undercover at the lunatic asylum on Blackwell Island, America’s first municipal mental hospital. Calling herself “Nellie Brown,” she was able to convince policemen, a judge, and a series of doctors of her madness with a few well-practiced facial expressions of derangement. At the institution, Bly discovered the stuff of nightmares. Mentally ill patients were fed rotten, inedible food; violently abused by a brutal, uncaring staff; and misdiagnosed, mistreated, or generally ignored by the doctors and so-called mental health experts entrusted with their care. To her horror, Bly encountered sane patients who had been committed on the barest of pretenses and came to the shocking realization that, while the Blackwell Island asylum was remarkably easy to get into, it was nearly impossible to leave.

    A Best Seller Summary of an intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former First Lady of the United States. 
    Warning! This is a summary book, intended to harmonize with Michelle Obama’s compelling memoir, not to replace it.  
    BECOMING: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS 
    In a life filled with accomplishment and racial tension, and doubt of her abilities, Michelle Obama emerged as one of the most iconic women of our era. As the first Black First Lady of the United States, she played a part in creating the most inclusive White House in history. Establishing herself as a powerful advocate for girls and women in the U.S. and around the world, and dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, she stood with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.   
    A work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Becoming author Michelle Obama invites readers to join her in chronicling her story. We experience her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, a shy girl self-confined to her room to play with dolls until age 10, to her years as an executive balancing the demands of work and being a good mother, to her time spent in the 132-room White House where she broke security protocol to sneak out to see the rainbow White House colors to celebrate gay marriage in all 50 states. With both wit and surprises, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both private and public--like placing her hand on the Queen of England. Timely and revealing, Becoming is the personal story of an unlikely rise to the White House by a woman of color that also sends up a few puzzling red flags.

    Our ability to understand others and help others understand us is essential to our individual and collective well-being. Yet there are many barriers that keep us from walking in the shoes of others: fear, skepticism, and power structures that separate us from those outside our narrow groups. To progress in a multicultural world and ensure our common good, we need to overcome these obstacles. Our best hope can be found in the skill of empathy.In Social Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal explains how we can develop our ability to understand one another and have compassion toward different social groups. When we are socially empathic, we not only imagine what it is like to be another person, but we consider their social, economic, and political circumstances and what shaped them. Segal explains the evolutionary and learned components of interpersonal and social empathy, including neurobiological factors and the role of social structures. Ultimately, empathy is not only a part of interpersonal relations: It is fundamental to interactions between different social groups and can be a way to bridge diverse people and communities.
