    Extractions: Phenomenal Woman Genre Poem Keywords Body Self-Image Human Worth Sexuality Summary In four proud stanzas, the poet reveals her self-confidence, her graceful rhythm and style, and the inner strength of her femininity. Rather than fashion-magazine beauty, she exults in things like "the stride of my step" or "the swing in my waist "or "the ride of my breasts". In the final stanza she asserts, "When you see me passing / It ought to make you proud." Each stanza closes with the refrain: "I'm a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That's me." Commentary The interior standard for beauty and self-worth goes back to Whitman and others. Phenomenology of the body makes a nice philosophical dovetail with this kind of poetic sentiment. While cataloging her strengths by separate phenomena, Angelou cannot resist making clever use of another meaning of the word, "phenomenal"outstanding, excellentand strutting just a bit at her power over "the fellows." But the enduring feeling of the poem is still inner pride not related to traditional notions of beauty or attractivenessa truly enviable self-image.

April 4, 1928, St. Louis, Mo., U.S.), black American poet whose several volumes of autobiography explore the themes of economic, racial, and sexual oppression. Although born in St. Louis, Angelou spent much of her childhood in the care of her maternal grandmother in rural Stamps, Ark. Raped at the age of eight by her mother's boyfriend, she went through an extended period of muteness. This early life is the focus of Angelou's first autobiographical work, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970). Subsequent volumes of autobiography include Gather Together in My Name Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas The Heart of a Woman (1981), and All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes In 1940 Angelou moved with her mother to San Francisco and worked intermittently as a cocktail waitress, a prostitute and madam, a cook, and a dancer.

The literary talent recognized and nurtured by an early mentor led Angelou in the late 1950s to New York City, where she found encouragement from the Harlem Writers' Guild. She lived in Egypt and Ghana for several years during the 1960s. Angelou's poetry, collected in such volumes as
