The tour is scheduled to kick off in Obama’s hometown of Chicago on “Becoming’s” release date, Nov. 13. OWN founder Winfrey will moderate the Windy City event.

Last month, Obama's publisher and her book tour's organizer announced they were adding additional dates at stadiums across the country "due to overwhelming fan demand."
