Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton by Gail Crowther
4.0
A chilling and beautiful comparison of the poets, Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath. Learning about the lives of both of these writers was both fascinating and agonizing.
Absolute wage of war on their minds. This book weaved together the stories of these two talented, brilliant women as they navigated their lives through their struggles of mental health, marriage, and motherhood.
“One of the great injustices of the legacies of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton is the infamy of their suicides. Sensationalized, romanticized, pathologized, these two women have become defined, and known, by the manner of their deaths. This is not to say their suicide are not important. Far from it. The problem has been that their lives get read backwards.”
