dc.description.abstractIn American history the 1960s mark the beginning of reform movements fighting for the equality of minority groups. This was the decade when the second wave of the feminist movement started to strengthen and in addition to certain social rights, women started to claim their due place in the literary canon by displaying the existence of a peculiarly feminine way of writing. Feminists critics invariably list writers like Anne Sexton (1928-1974) and Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) as the first representatives of the feminine writing style. However, Plath started her artistic creation at a very early age, well before the rise of feminism, therefore the supposed feminist intent of her works is questionable. This study aims at exposing why feminists chose Sylvia Plath as a representative figure by revealing the aspects of her writing that point to feminism. My thesis is that although Plath never referred to herself as a feminist, some thematic concerns and stylistic aspects in her works (such as the topic of marriage and motherhood) explain why she can be considered as one of the precursors of literary feminism.hu_HU
