I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou, 1969, United States, AUTOBIOGRAPHY

"...Mrs. Flowers tells the silent child: "Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning." So begins the reawakening of Maya's voice and her own music. She survives adolescence, breaks a racial barrier in seeking work, and becomes a mother in what is the beginning of a wondrous series of autobiographical works..."

(V.S., p. 128)
