סילביה פלאת
Sylvia Plath was an American writer known for her poetry and novel The Bell Jar.
Born in 1932, Plath showed early literary talent, publishing her first poem at age eight.
She attended Smith College on scholarship and later studied at Cambridge University.
Plath's work often explored themes of death, depression, and the female experience.
She struggled with mental illness throughout her life, attempting suicide multiple times before succeeding in 1963, shortly after The Bell Jar's publication.
Plath's confessional style and vivid imagery greatly influenced modern poetry.
Her posthumously published collection Ariel is considered a masterpiece, cementing her status as a significant 20th-century poet.
