The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou

emotional informative inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

4.0

This book made me aware of a lot of cultural similarities and differences between Angelou and I. I understood her struggles as a woman (and was often infuriated at her romantic interests). However, her struggles as a black American were harder to connect with but important for me to learn about regardless. As much as the book educated me culturally, this story was one of a black woman in a constant state of figuring things out, and her ability to succeed (career wise, socially, or as a mother) despite the odds being against her was very inspiring.
