Her marriages are only the tip of the metaphorical molten iceberg that has been Maya Angelou's remarkable life. In addition to the just renown of her literary and political work, she seems an incarnation of what made the cultural life of the twentieth century so compelling. As for her marriages, they were certainly more than singular in number--although probably each was quite a singular experience. Certainly, she has been legally wed three times: • In 1949, she married a Greek sailor named Tosh Angelos. They divorced in 1952, although she retained a version of his last name as her own. • In 1960, she then married South African freedom fighter and civil rights advocate, Vusumzi Make. Her second marriage also lasted three years. • In 1973, Maya Angelo married Paul du Feu, a French writer and cartoonist who had previously been married to activist and author, Germaine Greer. These are Maya Angelou's confirmed, legal marriages. As a rule, she does not publicly discuss her marriages, primarily their number "for fear," she says, "of sounding frivolous." It has been noted that her last, to Mr. de Feu, she considered her happiest. It ended, amicably, in 1980. But there is so much more to Maya Angelou. There is no way in my limited time & space hereupon for me to discuss it all. I will provide only some highlights, to whet the appetite of the uninitiated--or the uninitiated beyond "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." At age sixteen, Maya Angelou began her adult life, not only bringing into this world her son Claude but also becoming the first black cable car conductor in San Francisco. It goes without saying she was the first female black cable car conductor in San Francisco. With these two events, she concluded her formal education, something which makes her brilliance and prominence in fields from literature to political activism all that more stunning. Like a lot of us with more going on inside than the most of us, Ms. Angelou not only married (and/or "counterculture married" as I like to think of it, meaning: common law) at least three times, she also participated in a wide and wild variety of professions. From cook to madam, from waitress to nightclub performer, from singer to modern dancer working with both incomparalbles Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham, it was a wonderfully circuitous journey from Arkansas' Marguerite Annie Johnson (Ms. Angelou's birth name) to the extraordinary Maya Angelou the world now knows. I encourage everyone who has read this far, with undoubtable interest, to research further. Your efforts will be rewarded.

no she is not she died in 1901.




^^ she did not die in 1901. Obviously because she was not born until 1928. She married at least twice, but she has not clarified how many times. Once to a Greek sailor Tosh Angleos, and after divorcing the sailor she married Paul De deu about thirty years later.
