The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou
Announced on May 9, 1997
Maya Angelou's memoir, The Heart of a Woman, was the first nonfiction book to be selected for Oprah's Book Club.
One of the most widely read memoirists, Maya Angelou writes in The Heart of a Woman, her fourth volume of her autobiography, of the triumphs and disappointments of her public and private life. She recalls her times as a singer-dancer and budding writer in New York City, becoming northern coordinator for Martin Luther King, her encounters with the likes of Billie Holiday and Malcom X, as well as her betrothal and its aftermath and her dramatically tender relationship with her rebellious teenage son.
