The Heart of a Woman

Highly recommend! Knowledge is power

The Heart of a Woman is the best possible title for this book. Maya lets her heart be her guide, often through courage and curiosity, but sometimes with pure obstinacy. We shouldn't expect less from the daughter of a woman who left behind personal wealth and security to join the merchant navy simply because she was told women couldn't be sailors. Book four of a seven book autobiography made me wonder how one person could fit so much into their life. Maya's answer is clear - by following her heart. It's sensuously written, full of excitement and sometimes reads like a who's who of American politics and entertainment. Maya seems to have met everyone - from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X to Billie Holliday and Sidney Poitier. Wow, this woman knew how to live, and by reading these volumes we get to live vicariously.

everything was in order, well preserved book, well packed, arrived in time

If you like Maya Angelou, you would enjoy any of her books. I think there is a reason why Angel is in her name. She was a very strong gifted person. Carole
