Can You Help Add to Sylvia Plath's Profile?

Question

Hi everyone!

The anniversary of Sylvia Plath's death is coming up and that inspired me to look and see if we had a profile for her already. I've already started one and added the basic information, but I'd love for anyone who wanted to jump in to add to the profile : ) Hope you all are having a great day!

Answer 1

Hi Jayme, I read Sylvia Plath's contributions when I was young, so you might want to investigate that her identity was sometimes used as a reason young women needed to develop a more diverse identity then always as an add along to male identities. The Bell Jar was viewed as autobiographical.Women were viewed as a possession http://www.academia.edu/5690494/POST_MODERNISM_AND_FEMINISM_IN_THE_SELECT_POEMS_SYLVIA_PLATH

Ms Plath's writtings were used as an instigator for the women's movement,her sadness and depression were seen as the plight of many women. https://vsramblings.wordpress.com/2013/05/27/sylvia-plath-the-accidental-feminist/

You would be safe in stating that Ms Plath through her misery and writings spearheaded the Womens Movement of the sixties

You might look up her name with various feminist public statements to see her writings kinship with the women's movement of the 60's and 70's

One more thing to be considered is the world had come through WWll and how it changed self views andthe writings of that time
