Maya Angelou was, and still is, one of the most important writers who influenced millions of readers around the world. In this book, Angelou writes to all the girls in the world, to the girl wounded by a fleeting love, to the toiling girl in a distant village, to the girl who screamed loudly and no one listened to her, and to all the women who did not find anyone to write about their pain... In this book, Maya Angelou reshapes her life again, and addresses the most prominent defining moments that shaped her awareness. It prompted her to address very important issues, including violence, rape, racial discrimination, and abortion, in addition to many other issues related to the status of women and their struggle to seize their rights in a society dominated by masculinity and discrimination based on sex. A book we all need to realize, in the end, that every moment in our lives is a message that we cannot live again except by writing it.
