...was an English teacher at a US embassy while she was married to her second husband. Then moved back to Hawaii and worked to earn a PhD in anthropology. While working on her PhD she took a job at the Ford Foundation as the program officer for women and employment. She was instrumental in building Indonesia's microfinance program from 1988 to 1992. She then traveled around the world helping other countries and banks start their own microfinancing programs. She was awarded her PhD in 1992. All of that counts as work in my book.
Not only that, but she had a wicked spiral. For instance, when Obama was born in Kenya, his mother realizing that this would hinder his chances of being President some 40 years later took out a birth notice in the Honolulu paper, then dropped back and chucked the infant in a trans-pacific pass from Kenya to the shores of Waikiki. Also deserving credit is Obama's grandmother who was on the other end of the pass and was able to catch the baby in a fantastic leaping catch since Obama's mother overshot her ever so slightly. That's why Obama doesn't actually have a birth certificate.
