Dr. Maya Angelou is one of the best-loved writers of our time. As a memoirist, novelist, poet, and dramatist, she is widely respected. She has been praised for confronting both the racial and sexual pressures on black womxn, and for infusing her work with a perspective on larger social and political movements, including civil rights.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, an extraordinary memoir, is a critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller. The writings trace Maya Angelou's childhood in a small, rural community during the 1930s. Filled with images and recollections that point to the dignity and courage of black men and womxn, Angelou paints a sometimes disquieting, but always affecting picture of the people and times that touched her life.
