The first lady of the United States acted as editor of a women's magazine.

The wife of the US President Michelle Obama acted as a guest editor at the women's glossy magazine More. This is reported on the publication's website.

More editor-in-chief Leslie Jane Seymour said that this was the first time in history that the President's wife acted as a guest editor of any media outlet. She noted that Obama took an active part in shaping the issue and chose the topics of the materials. “She read every page and asked for some changes until the last minute,” Seymour said.

The main themes of the new issue, at the request of the First Lady, were a healthy lifestyle for children, help to families of military personnel, as well as school and higher education for girls. In the editorial column, Obama recalled how she first got into the White House in 2009. In addition, she talked about her favorite music. Among the selected performers, she mentioned Beyonce, Steve Wonder and the duet of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

The first issue of More magazine was published in 1998. Its frequency is 10 issues per year. The publication writes about beauty, fashion, entertainment and other popular topics.

This is not the first time that Michelle Obama tries on roles unusual for the first lady. For example, in late April, it became known that she would play a cameo in the TV series "Nashville". In February, 2014 took part in the episode of the comedy series “Parks and Recreation Areas”.
