Letter to my daughter - Book Review

I had a certain expectation out of this book because it comes with an author who is famous for her style of writing and is accepted world wide as one of the greats. If I had met her or heard her speak, I may have judged her differently because I'm a big fan of strong women, but sadly her writing did not touch me at all. It felt overrated, egoistic and very know-it-all. I stopped myself and wondered if I'm hating on her style because she's abnoxious, bold and proud in a way, women usually aren't. We don't want to come across as "full of ourselves". But no, I'd have hated her more if she was a man. I kept rolling my eyes and sighing every now and then while reading this book and I'm glad I picked something small to start with. I do appreciate that her ideas and rage may have been revolutionary at a different time. I might try again with her most famous book- her autobiography although my hopes are low. As much as I love memoirs and the chance to ruffle through a great mind and seeing how I relate to them, Maya Angelou was just not my cup of tea.
