Abstract
Sylvia Plath harshly attacks repressive patriarchal society which has not only
rendered women as sub-human, inferior, mysterious, and uncertain but also has
rendered the female insignificant . In the Collected Poems, Plath exposes the
discrimination and violence meted out to females and their bodies. While exposing
this, Plath raises her voice vehemently against patriarchy, which reflects her attempt
to claim female identity and subjectivity as separate niche.
