My Smithsonian Research

On the website I found alot of interesting things on there but one stood out to me and that was the women of our time. I found a woman by the name of Anne Sexton. She was a poet that had mental breakdowns alot. The doctors gave her an exercise that would and might help her. The exercise was writing how she felt that day and what was going through her mind at that moment. The assignment help her relieve some of the stress in her life and kept her from having those evil breakdowns. She wrote alot of poems that were really good. Her poem called "Live or Die" won her a Pulitzer Prize in 1967. Her Distinctions could never ease her deep rooted insecurities and tears, and in 1974 she commited suicide.
