Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie
Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents
divorced when she was only three and she was
sent with her brother Bailey to live with their
grandmother in the small town of Stamps,
Arkansas. In Stamps, the young girl experienced
the racial discrimination that was the legally
enforced way of life in the American South, but
she also absorbed the deep religious faith and old-
fashioned courtesy of traditional African American
life. She credits her grandmother and her extended family with instilling in
her the values that informed her later life and career. She enjoyed a close
relationship with her brother. Unable to pronounce her name because of a
stutter, Bailey called her "My" for "My sister." A few years later, when he
read a book about the Maya Indians, he began to call her "Maya," and the
name stuck.
At age seven, while visiting her mother in Chicago, she was sexually
molested by her mother's boyfriend. Too ashamed to tell any of the adults
in her life, she confided in her brother. When she later heard the news that
an uncle had killed her attacker, she felt that her words had killed the man.
She fell silent and did not speak for five years.
Maya began to speak again at 13, when she and her brother rejoined their
mother in San Francisco. Maya attended Mission High School and won a
scholarship to study dance and drama at San Francisco's Labor School,
where she was exposed to the progressive ideals that animated her later
political activism. She dropped out of school in her teens to become San
Francisco's first African American female cable car conductor. She later
returned to high school, but became pregnant in her senior year and
graduated a few weeks before giving birth to her son, Guy. She left home at
16 and took on the difficult life of a single mother, supporting herself and
her son by working as a waitress and cook, but she had not given up on
her talents for music, dance, performance and poetry.
In 1952, she married a Greek sailor named
Anastasios Angelopulos. When she began
her career as a nightclub singer, she took the
professional name Maya Angelou, combining
her childhood nickname with a form of her
husband's name. Although the marriage did
not last, her performing career flourished. She
toured Europe with a production of the opera
Porgy and Bess in 1954 and 1955. She
studied modern dance with Martha Graham,
danced with Alvin Ailey on television variety
shows and recorded her first record album,
Calypso Lady (1957).
She had composed song lyrics and poems for many years, and by the end
of the 1950s was increasingly interested in developing her skills as a writer.
She moved to New York, where she joined the Harlem Writers Guild and
took her place among the growing number of young black writers and

In cross-cultural and historical perspective, however, there is nothing straightforward about it. This talk is a shallow but broad overview of a range of ways that different groups have organized gender and sexuality.
