The Heart Of A Woman
The Heart Of A Woman | Maya Angelou
25 posts | 28 read | 31 to read
Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. The fourth volume of her enthralling autobiography finds Maya Angelou immersed in the world of black writers and artists in Harlem, working in the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King. 'She has a great capacity for love, to give, and receive it' Margaret Busby

Thx @Soubhiville for giving us the gift of Maya Angelou as our Feb #AuthorAMonth! I started with this memoir to learn more about Maya‘s writing life, her experience in the Harlem Writers Guild & her tireless work in the Civil Rights Movement. I wanted more...so I moved on to her early poetry, this children‘s book as well as interviews with Oprah. In each one, I felt like she was speaking from her soul to mine. What a fiercely inspiring woman!🙌🏻

PurpleyPumpkin Glad you enjoyed this memoir so much! I haven't started my pick yet, but I'm looking forward to it. 😉 3y
Soubhiville I‘m glad you‘re getting a lot out of her books! And you all chose her, it was Litzy‘s votes that determined authors 😊. 3y
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin I was toggling between the audio and ebook, and couldn‘t put them down! Happy reading, my friend! 🤗 3y
MemoirsForMe @Soubhiville Her words really moved me! And, if you weren‘t our dedicated and organized host, I may have missed all this inspiration.😉 3y

Angelou‘s personal accomplishments are rivaled only by her horrible luck in choosing men. I kept wanting to say “No, stay away from him!” Her ability to make you feel like you‘re living her life alongside her is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this. #authoramonth @Soubhiville

Maya Angelou is one of the most interesting human beings to have lived. I read a review that said reading one of her autobiographies makes a person wonder what the hell they've been doing with their lives. I feel that. I read the first 2 autobiographies years ago and taught them for years but had never continued the series. This took me right back to her voice and her larger-than-life wisdom. She is a true treasure. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

DivineDiana I feel the same! What an incredible life! 3y

Really enjoyed this book. She writes so beautifully and her story is triumphant. It definitely wasn‘t a quick read, even though I love reading her story about this specific part in her life i definitely found it sometimes hard to want to read it. But I definitely think it is a must read!

2019 was a fantastic reading year! 9 5-🌟!
Maya Angelou's 7 part autobiographies are a must read. They are the cherries on my reading lists and I only allow myself one a year. Highly recommend them.
Michelle Obama's autobiography is outstanding!
I was spoiled with all the good books last year.

“Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.”

Fourth book of Angelou‘s autobiography where she tells the story of her life. She delves right into the heart of “woman” from romantic love, maternal love, heartbreak, domestic violence, racial discrimination to gender discrimination.

Maya Angelou is the type of writer that after reading her books, it leaves an eternal mark in your heart and in your soul..In this book, I loved her real life encounters and relationships with Billie Holiday, Malcolm X and MLK!! And so many quotes to live by..
6/5 😊❤️❤️

"If he was headstrong, I had made him so. If, in his adolescent opinion, he was the best representative of the human race, it was my doing and I had no apology to make."

"Sometimes it's wiser to be right in silence, you know?"

"Speak up. Tell the truth, no matter what the situation."

Maya Angelou, everyone. #24in48
