Anyway, this book satisfies my taste for autobiographies of famous American culture literature writers. While I might not relate to most of what Angelou shares, I would have been telling a complete lie if I said this piece of literature was not moving. Not only does this autobiography show you what it took for Ms. Angelou to become who she became, it also showed me a glimpse of what it was like to live in the United States as a black woman in the 30s and 40s. Angelou does a great job of sharing some of the smaller details and larger themes that encompassed American society at that time in a way that puts American history books to shame.
