Abstract
Sylvia Plath’s impactful literary works challenge cultural standards and shed light on women’s struggles in the twentieth century. This paper examines the cultural context in which they were written by focusing on the changing understanding of motherhood presented in Plath’s poetry. The analysis is done through the lens of social constructionism and the idea that a seemingly biological notion, such as motherhood, becomes a social myth. This paper explores Plath’s portrayal of infertility and the decision not to have children, miscarriage, pregnancy, and the complexity of emotions associated with raising children. Finally, it analyses Plath’s understanding of mental health issues in the context of motherhood. Its main goal is to comment on the interplay of gender, motherhood, and mental health, emphasizing Plath’s reflections on American women’s experiences.
