What is Plath famous for?
Her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, depicts a talented woman slowly descending into insanity. It is also a standard for feminist literature.
Quotes from the novel:

- “The silence depressed me.

- “If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one time and the same time, then I’m neurotic as hell.”
- “The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn’t thought about it.”
