The Extraordinary Mother Who Shaped Barack Obama

I really enjoy reading
Today, while looking through old magazines, this particular issue caught my eye. When Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States, and coverage about him appeared in TIME Magazine, I was greatly moved by his mother and her life, and I found myself reading the article about her repeatedly. This story wasn't just about Barack Obama; it focused on the remarkable life of his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. As an independent and intellectual anthropologist, she left Barack with his grandparents in Hawaii so she could continue her studies and work. Ann Dunham later married an Indonesian man, Lolo Soetoro, and took Barack with her to Indonesia. In Jakarta, they also had a daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng. She completed her PhD in anthropology there and later did significant work developing a microfinance system for rural women.
