Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath was a writer. Her first awarded story, “Sunday at the Mintons,” was published in 1952 while she was at college in magazine Mademoiselle. I became intrigued with her life because she suffered from depression. I wonder what path she might have taken had she taken medication that is available today. It is sad that she ended her life.
Plath worked in 1953 on the college editorial board at the same magazine and suffered a mental breakdown which led to a suicide attempt. One of her greatest novels was the autobiographical, The Bell Jar. If you look for it at the library, you will need to look under the author name of Victoria Lucas. She used that as her pseudonym. It was written in 1963 only a month before she died.
The strange and suffering types always intrigue me. I wish they could receive help. Perhaps their journey will lead to help for others.
