5.0 out of 5 stars The Phenomenal Woman, February 25, 2000

Patricia McInnis (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women (Hardcover)

Maya Angelou's book "Phenomenal Woman" is a celebration of women regardless of race, creed, or color. The poems contained between the covers of this small but powerful book articulate the strength and beauty of womanhood. I display the book on my coffee table along with other books. My twelve year old niece read the book and fell in love with it. She has asked me to buy a copy for her.I will buy a copy for her and my other nieces and nephews.

Maya, keep writing - you are a Queen and a "Phenomenal Woman"!

Patricia McInnis

GabbaF - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women (Hardcover)

What a wonderful collection of poems celebrating women. This book of four very soulful, strong, empowering poems has quickly become a favorite. I would recommend this book as a gift for any woman. Or better yet, buy it for yourself - you won't regret it!

Kimberly Lark "Kim the Teacher" (KC, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women (Hardcover)

I heard Oprah recite the title poem at her workshop and had to have it. It is a great little book and would make a nice gift for a 'phenomenal woman'
