I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

By Maya Angelou, 1969
The first in an autobiographical series about the early years of African-American writer Maya Angelou.

A coming-of-age story that illustrates how strength of character and a love of literature can help overcome trauma, it offers a searing critique of racism and explores the human quest for independence and personal dignity.
