Explanation:
Marguerite was the young girl in Maya Angelou's <em>I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings</em>, which is an autobiographical account of her life. Marguerite learns from the women in her life on how to fully accept her identity as a black woman while at the same time making a life of her own. One of these women is Mrs. Bertha Flowers.

Maya states Mrs. Flowers <em>"had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her"</em>. As we read along, Maya again declared that <em>"
she was one of the few gentlewomen I have ever known, and has remained throughout my life the measure of what a human being can be"</em>. These statements show how our narrator is in owe of the woman.
