영문 초록

  This article is to elaborate a modern black woman writer, Maya Angelou, especially her miraculous life as a black writer. She was born in the divorced family and raped at 8 by her mother’s friend and at 16 she gave birth to a bastard but now she is teaching in the Wake Forest University and has become a famous speaker as well as a well known writer. I have surveyed what could transform herself from an unhappy black girl to an influential popular writer as well as speaker .
  First, she could overcome her environmental barriers with writing biographies and poems. Writing her life stories in poems and autobiographies she always tried to disclose her dark, shameful experiences to the public and with such continuous opening she has succeeded in freeing herself from her past. And her inborn humorous temper and familial love unique as a black people and most of all, her Christian belief helped her break the negative barriers such as inferiority complex and prejudices caused by the color difference as well as the gender discrimination. Especially her faith in Christ brought her and her people good merits such as endurance and serving mind, which resulted in embracing the white neighbors with Christ’s love. All those have contributed to giving her a positive thinking and to opening herself to the publics with warm heartedness to be Maya Angelou of today.
