Sylvia Plath (1932–1963, United States)

Sylvia Plath's sonnets were known for individual and nature-based symbolism with subjects of affection, fury, passing, and revival. Many are remembered to mirror her long lasting fight with gloom and various breakdowns.

A few women's activists her as an image for their development, for the manner in which her sonnets directed female fury and melancholy. Plath kicked the bucket by self destruction at 30 years old.

Must-understand Sonnet: "Daddy"

Well known expression: "And coincidentally, all that in life is writable about assuming you have the active guts to make it happen, and the creative mind to make do. The most obviously terrible adversary to innovativeness is self-question."
