I know why the caged bird sings, by: Maya Angelou

This book is the first part of the autobiographical novel of the American poetess Maya Angelou, and it was published in 1976 as another literary journey that takes us to an important station in the life of the American poetess, which is the stage of building the self and trying to reconcile with the self. In this book, Maya narrates to us the details of her struggle to support her young son, to form meaningful relationships, and to establish a successful career in the entertainment world. Maya took us in the other two parts to different areas we were not familiar with, and she carried us through many psychological and social battles against racial discrimination, racial superiority, and attempts to overcome poverty and experiences of rising against oppression and humiliation. But this book will take us on different paths, especially when Maya decides to go on a journey to tour Europe in an attempt to discover the world and herself as well. This important part puts us face to face with many situations that made Maya change her name from Margaret Johnson to Maya Angelou, situations that can be described as stations that changed her life forever. Therefore, we must approach this book with amazement, because we will find these stations similar to many situations we have experienced in our personal lives, in some way. Maya takes us by the hand to help us discover ourselves. Number of pages: 390
