This most interesting read is a continuation of her autobiography, chroni cling her adult life as a mother, wife and freedom fighter. Mrs. Angelou appears to create good out of bad, a woman faced with tragedy numer ous times throughout her life, yet comes ‘out triumphant and victorious each time. As I continued to read I shook my head in disappointment about the events that took place in those times but could not help but think, “What an amaz ing life she has lived.” I even asked myself; if it were I, going through the life experiences Mrs. Angelou had to endure, would I be able to sustain and live to tell the story? Maya — Angelou BRONCOSCOPES Only God knows... “The Heart of a Woman" was so elo quently written; and as a reader it is almost as if I was there experiencing all the unfor tunate adversities she faced and overcame. I was taken aback by all the accounts of the moving tale of a life filled with chal lenge, adversity, accomplishment and ex citement, “The Heart of a Woman" gives imperative insights to African-Americans about their life circumstances. However, as I read some of the reviews criticizing her for being honest when she referred to the white Americans during the 60’s I find myself appalled with their lack of acknowledgement to her experiences. The emplacement of the racial obstruc tion was well built and excluded anyone of color from living the lives as they saw fit. So again I ask another question; why should she be criticized for this? “The Heart of a Woman ” is nothing more than a devastating representation of the harsh conditions African-Americans faced during those times. Yet it also depicts the triumph of what Mrs. Angelou and those alike had to face. As one is so privileged to read and experience the environment in which individuals had to endure, the book wraps you up like a caterpillar in a cocoon, releasing the most colorful and beautiful butterfly “The Heart of a Woman." By Monique Vaughn, Voice Photo Editor LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) The “special” he/she In your life did not come through for you; though you may be disappointed, you will not speak up.
