This would be an excellent book to share with the strong women you know or the strong women you are encouraging others to be.

SHort and sweet but powerful verse. Maya Angelou short collection (4 poems) is as the title states phenomenal. I guess you wouldn't expect anything less from this great writer/poet. My favorite poemof the four is "Our Grandmothers." This poem really has a very powerful meaning that you can feel her passion and the struggle of black women as you read this one. Add this book to your poetry collection.
