Maya Angelou was among the first African-American women to hit the bestseller lists with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Throught her script writing and directing, she has been a groundbreaker for black women in film. She was also nominated for an Emmy Award for her acting in Roots. Themes of love and the universality of all lives run through her work.
"The honorary duty of a human being is to love."
Maya Angelou
"What you looking at me for?"
1930s America teaches Marguerite that black is ugly and that the abuse she suffers is her own fault. It is only in her teens that Marguerite emerges from the private world of muteness into which she has withdrawn and confronts the prejudice around her. She is no longer a victim, bt a champion of her own identiy.
Maya Angelou's classic autobiographical account of her childhood is a powerful and moving evocation of a black girl's struggle against her oppressors.
Adapted into film
