The Heart of a Woman

Rating:
Summary: An excellent portrayal of Maya Angelou's life during the 60s
Review: This book makes note of Maya Angelou's life and struggles during the 60's. She discusses her membership to the Harlem Writer's Guild, her singing/theatrical career, and her lively travels to Africa. She discusses marriage, her relationship with her son and her mother. I recommend this book to everyone woman who is learning, while experiencing the ever-so-changing journey that life will take you on. After reading, you will be prepared to overcome all fears and achieve your dreams.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!
Review: This book was so wonderful that I ran out and bought all of Maya Angelou's novels. And the heart of a woman is still my favorite one. I am a young white female who hasn't experienced near what the author has, but she made me feel like I had. I could totally relate and it was hard to put the book down.

Rating:
Summary: no airs about it
Review: This is a very good book. I liked that she just told the truth and did not seem to embellish. She also exposed herself as the true woman that she is. We understood at all times without the use of vulgarity. And last, by the time she was finished, I felt like I have met her personally.

Rating:
Summary: WOW!
Review: What a brave woman! That's all I have to say. To let it all hang out like she does in Heart of a Woman and in fact all of her autobiographical works she has to be brave.

Review: When I first picked up this book, I thought to myself 'Ah yes another "Go Women" book. I started to read it. The extensive aray of emotions and thoughts this book provoked was amazing. I never thought a book could touch me so deeply. Sometimes, I laughed so hard I needed to put the book down, sometimes cried a river, sometimes threw the book across the room in disgust and anger for all the racial comments of both black and white races. One amazingly breathtaking story. I recently went to see Maya Angelou speak, the topic " Composing oneslef". The moment she was introduced and came on stage, I burst into tears. It was the most wonderful thing I have seen to date. I highly, highly recommend this book to all who want an amazing story and want to come away from a book with self-confidance, reasurance and re-newed self worth: I am Woman.
