University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history's most compelling figures, Oprah Winfrey.
Born in Kosciusko, Mississippi in 1954 to an unmarried teenage mother, Oprah Gail Winfrey was raised in extreme poverty, wore dresses made of potato sacks, suffered abuse, became pregnant, lost her son to a premature birth, became an honors student, was voted "Most Popular Girl" in her high school, won a full college scholarship, became the youngest - and first black female - television news anchor in Nashville, took the lowest-rated show in Chicago and turned it into the number-one daytime talk show in America, and became America's first black multi-billionaire.
This short book tells the intensely human story of a woman who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
