Who was the first African American woman to write a non-fiction best seller?

I had to read this book in high school. It was one of the best books I have ever read. If you ever think that you can't do something- read this book! What she overcame in her life made me believe I can survive anything. An amazing woman.

I had the pleasure of meeting her, she was a remarkable woman.

sounds like a very incredible woman

Read this book many years ago and want to read it again. Maya gave us so much.

Read "Caged" - wonderful book - and don't remember her being a sex worker.

Awesome woman. She was highly talented.

Player #38618593, yeah, I’d never heard that either. Although it is entirely possible, and in some odd way, adds credence to sex work… all forms of work can be ‘good work’.

504native, Me too I totally agree!

504native, I think that is a wonderful experience in your life!
