What were some of maya Angelo’s in writing I know why the caged birds sing

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a 1969 autobiography describing the early years of American writer and poet Maya Angelou. The first in a seven-volume series, it is a coming-of-age story that illustrates how strength of character and a love of literature can help overcome racism and trauma.

Explanation:

With this early line from Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, we get a glimpse into what the author has waiting for us in the rest of her book: an authentic, lyrical, intimate storytelling of her painful past viewed through the eyes of the grown-up Angelou.  

 This autobiography has been considered controversial throughout the years since its release in 1969, for dealing with sensitive topics ranging from abuse and racism to sexism and isolation. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, which is named for a line in Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem ''Sympathy,'' is a coming-of-age tale following Angelou from the age of three to 16, as she grows from being victimized (or caged) to being free of the things that oppressed her (her ability to sing).
