    Country note: drunken ex-husband Paul De Fau Germaine Greer 29 May 2004 Germaine Greer wonders what shall she do with the drunken ex-husband? "There's a piece about you in the Daily Mail," said the driver, who’s of the view that all publicity for his guv'nor is good publicity. "Two pages and a picture." "What am I supposed to have done now?" I asked wearily. No one from the Daily Mail had called me for a comment or even to check their facts. I could hardly imagine that it was running a feature on my installing a new pond filter, to make life more pleasant for the 10 koi I inherited from the lodger. (I've given them names: Trevor, Colin, Dora, Smudgy, Summer, Stealthy, Pearl, Diamond, Sigmund and Pig.) Nor did I think the Daily Mail would have covered my address to Fourteenth International Congress of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology on the epidemic of terror occasioned by mass screening for cervical cancer, or my address to the Breast Care Conference on the unsatisfactory state of our understanding of breast disease. Nor did I entertain any suspicion that the paper might have defied the embargo and run something on my plea for an Aboriginal Australia, called Whitefella Jump Up, due to appear on July 8. The next day the driver showed up with a copy of the pages in question. Behold, it was my ex-husband, Paul du Feu, rehashing his one and only story to someone called Helen Weathers. "I was Mr Germaine Greer" ran the headline with a parenthesis.

The ceremony took place before a capacity crowd at Washington, DC’s Warner Theatre. Angelou fans are encouraged to share the news on social media using the hashtag #MayaForever. “Maya Angelou was an author who broke down the barriers of literary form,” said Postmaster General Megan Brennan. “Throughout her many written works, she explored themes of identity, race and displacement — and did so in a distinct style that stretched over time and place. Her stories embodied the pain of her personal struggle — but more than anything else, they epitomized the triumph of courage and the human spirit. She committed her life to ideas that elevated our sense of what it means to be human, and to advance understanding, compassion, and reconciliation.” “She'd get a big kick out of this moment,” said Winfrey. “Being honored and commemorated by the Postal Service with her own stamp, for the big, bold bodacious, life she dared to live, in a way that dazzled and gave meaning to those of us who knew her and many who didn’t.” “Phenomenal Maya,” said Young.

  • Gender and Racial Empowerment in Selected Works of Maya Angelou

    Gender and Racial Empowerment in Selected Works of Maya Angelou

    ABSTRACT DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALSARHAN, JAWAHER A. B.A. KING SAUD UNIVERSITY, 2009 GENDER AND RACIAL EMPOWERMENT IN SELECTED WORKS OF MAYA ANGELOU Committee Chair: Timothy Askew, Ph.D. Thesis dated August 2019 This study examines Maya Angelou as a powerful African-American woman in the twentieth century who impacted generations of African Americans. Her biographies and selected poetry speak strongly and wisely about gender and racial empowerment. This empowerment was sown in her childhood and could be traced throughout her life. It is also a fact that seldom does the realization of one’s race and gender take place at such an early age as with Maya Angelou. She was highly marginalized not only in terms of gender but also in terms of race with acute consciousness of being “undeservedly…relegated to second-class citizenship” (Walker 93).
