The Heart of a Woman

 

The Heart of a Woman is an autobiography by African-American writer Maya Angelou, and was chosen as an Oprah's Book Club selection in 1997. The book is the fourth installment in Angelou's series of six autobiographies, thus enlarging the autobiography in both form and content, something critic Mary Jane Lupton calls "a narrative structure unsurpassed in American autobiography".

Lupton also calls this book Angelou's "most introspective".[
