Starting in 2007, she wrote some of the earliest articles about <a href="/facts/Michelle_Obama/W0shnydr">Michelle Obama</a>, the role of the Obama daughters in their father's career, the role of basketball in the president's life, his relationship with <a href="/facts/Rev._Jeremiah_Wright/CabFkeQL">Rev.

"She knows that every strong marriage, including the one now in the White House, has its complexities and its disappointments. Ms. Kantor also — and this is a key — has a high regard for women, which is why hers is the first book about the Obama presidency to give Michelle Obama her due. In the process we learn a great deal about the talented and introverted loner who married her, and how his wife has influenced him as a president." Other reviewers called the book "insightful and evocative, rich with detail"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27"><sup>27</sup></a> and "an honest portrayal of people who are put under unprecedented scrutiny with unusual rapidity."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28"><sup>28</sup></a> <a href="/facts/Ezra_Klein/o43oNblA">Ezra Klein</a>, of <i><a href="/facts/The_Washington_Post/dRvzvqJc">The Washington Post</a></i>, called <i>The Obamas</i> "among the very best books on this White House" and "a serious, thoughtful book on the modern presidency."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29"><sup>29</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="investigative-and-long-form-reporting">Investigative and long-form reporting</h2> <p>Kantor's 2006 story, "On the Job, Nursing Mothers Find a 2-Class System", on the class gap in <a href="/facts/Breastfeeding/cdWXyYDX">breastfeeding</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> inspired the creation of the first free-standing lactation stations, now installed in hundreds of airports, stadiums and other workplaces around the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> </p><p>She has reported on the treatment of women on <a href="/facts/Wall_Street/Xt5SxcCN">Wall Street</a> and in <a href="/facts/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints/rcgQH9bT">the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</a> (LDS Church).
