Even if I hadn’t known Plath to be a poet before i picked this up, I would have quickly learned from the lyrical way she tells her own story. Discusses what it meant to be a woman with chronic depression in the 1960s.
Graphic: Drug use, Mental illness, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Misogyny
