There she enters the society and world of black artists and writers, reads her work at the Harlem Review: Good book - Highly recommend! Knowledge is power Review: A full life and a huge hearted woman. - The Heart of a Woman is the best possible title for this book. Maya lets her heart be her guide, often through courage and curiosity, but sometimes with pure obstinacy. We shouldn't expect less from the daughter of a woman who left behind personal wealth and security to join the merchant navy simply because she was told women couldn't be sailors. Book four of a seven book autobiography made me wonder how one person could fit so much into their life. Maya's answer is clear - by following her heart. It's sensuously written, full of excitement and sometimes reads like a who's who of American politics and entertainment. Maya seems to have met everyone - from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X to Billie Holliday and Sidney Poitier. Wow, this woman knew how to live, and by reading these volumes we get to live vicariously. ## Features - Random House Trade ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #84 in Biographies of Authors | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 873 Reviews | ## Images ![The Heart of a Woman - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aX3SXhrsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by T***A on 16 January 2026* Highly recommend!
