Phenomenal Woman

"Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou is a very inspiring poem about the importance of all women. Maya Angelou talks about how each woman has something special about them that makes them phenomenal. All women have a certain grace or style that makes them an individual and it is that individuality that makes them all, for lack of a better word, phenomenal. I like the fact that she says " I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size" because a lot of women feel like that and it is a good way of relating to the audience. It shows that women are special not because of their size, physical looks or brain power but because of the style that everyone has that differentiates them from other people. This poem serves as an inspiration to women that everyone can be 'phenomenal' in different ways for different reasons.
