Like most writers, Plath changed the facts of her life in her writing. In her determination to be both wife and mother, on the one hand, and teacher and writer on the other, Plath tried simultaneously to fulfill and to fight the conventions that bound women in the 1950s. In this biography, the first to draw on unpublished journals and letters recently made available, Wagner-Martin examines the ironies, contradictions, and achievements of Plath's life.

Le protagoniste di questo libro sono trentaquattro donne, intraprendenti, controcorrente, spesso perseguitate, a volte incomprese ma forti e generose, sempre pronte a lottare per raggiungere traguardi che sembravano inarrivabili, se non addirittura impensabili: da Ilaria Alpi, la giornalista uccisa mentre indagava su scomode verità, a Kathrine Switzer, la prima donna a correre la maratona di Boston; da Ipazia, che nel IV secolo, contro i divieti ecclesiastici, osò scrutare il cielo per rivelare il movimento dei pianeti, a Olympe de Gouges.

In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence. Gornick's groundbreaking book confronts what Edna O'Brien has called "the principal crux of female despair": the unacknowledged Oedipal nature of the mother-daughter bond.
