Maya Angelou changed Americans' Idea of whose storles are worth telling
Maya Angebou died in 2014, [and] during her lifetime, the writer was a towering cullural figure, whose stories of trauma and racism showed that the storles of black women could find mainstream suocess.
Angelou's gritty and intensely personal memoirs were a powerful demonstration to the American publishing industry and literary community that the storles of black women mattered, even to white readers. The first of her memolrs, I Know why the Caged Bard Sings, was published in 1970 . Angelou recalls her chilichood, in which she was first shipped away by her parents, then collected bark without warning, a few years later, to live with her mother.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings spent at least six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, which was exceedingly rare for an African American woman writing in the 1970 s. Zora Neale Hurston, who published Their Eyes were Watching God in 1937 , didn't achieve mainstream critical acclaim until after her death, and Toni Morrison's Beloved wouldn't be published until 1987.
