For my essay, I’m analysing themes of female mental health, alienation, and feminism, with a focus on Sylvia Plath’s “ariel” Plath’s exploration of mental anguish, identity, and the pressures of societal expectations offers a powerful feminist critique, and I’m looking to compare this with other books or collections with similar themes.
I’m especially interested in recommendations that, like “ariel” examine the struggles of mental illness, alienation, and the female experience under patriarchy. It has to be pre-1900.
Any suggestions of a pre-1900 book with a similar theme that I could compare it with…?
Thank you!
