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"!

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!

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'

She is a phenomanel woman, who is able to articulate the female soul phenomanelly!

MYA ANGELOU HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT ROLE MODEL TO ME. PHENOMINAL WOMAN IS SOMETHING THAT ALL WOMAN SHOULD READ. IT LIFTS SPIRITS AND OPENS EYES. WHEN YOU READ IT YOU ACTUALLY DO FEEL LIKE A PHENOMINAL WOMAN.

I bought "Phenominal Woman" because of the abbreviated poem, "I Rise", which I heard Ms. Angelou recite on a television commercial. (I stood up too!) About the same time, I was taking a college English course called Ethnic Voices in which the class read the poem she read during Clinton's inauguration. I like all of her poems that I have read and will continue to read. She is a definite inspiration.

Maya simply extols the WOMAN. She is effortlessly eloquent and each word is perfectly selected to fit. I take pride in being a woman more so since Maya can express my feelings that I could never put into words. Her poetry deserves as many stars as there are in the black night sky.

I just wanted to let Miss Angelou know that I really enjoy her books, all of them. But Phenomenal Woman is very important poem to me because it describes what my mother and grandmother are to me and my family and hopeflly one day I will learn to be a phenomenal woman.
