A Letter to My Daughter (Pismo k Moey Docheri)

Maya Angelou is one of the most important American writers and poets of the 20th century. Her book, Letter to My Daughter, transcends genres and is a message to the millions of women she considers her daughters. Full of wise and captivating essays, this book recounts the journey that led Angelou to the pedestal of American literature: the life lessons she learned and the strength of her spirit; being raised by her grandmother in the American South; surviving abuse; religion; and the experience of loveless sex, which paradoxically left her with the greatest gift of all—a son.
