Angelou's clear-cut emotional style of writing empowers any reader. Although disturbing at times, Maya is able to select those instances in her life which translated into the greatest long term impact and meaning. It is evident that Angelou takes a stand on feminism and racial empowerment, and through an account of her triumphs and travails she engenders hope for the downtrodden. Although this was a heartfelt presentation of fact, Maya creates an aura of heroism that cannot be duplicated. Maya tells the reader her story in the hope that others will learn from it, but circumstances change. Definitely her life is unique and stands as a beacon of integrity - and duly deserves appreciation. But to say the life of one woman among thousands, millions of others causes revolutionary change in social psyche? Not likely. This is a difficult read for those sensitive indivuals touchy about issues concerning poverty, oppression, and social isolation.
