ResumoGather Together in My Name focuses in particular on her experience as a failure process leading to her eventual achievement. Her second autobiography encompasses more universal issues about self-government, self-reliance, and self-realization (McPherson 62). In addition, whether her failure originates from family, job, or love comfort, her personality development expose an inspection of archetypal femininity when she is unable to use fashion products effectively. Items like Vinylite high heels and the foundation of Max Factor make a model beauty that disorients, deform and complicates Angelou's self-identity. Leslie Rabine claims that fashion has an impact of structuring the symbolic order of the male / subject female / object, making female a paradigmatic object (Rabine,p. 65). By comparing a bombed relationship or business adventure with costly attire or cosmetics, Angelou exemplifies this style worldview and its consequent perplexity.
