Sylivia plath and adrienne rich were part of which literary movement? civil rights. feminist. southern gothic. the beats.

The correct answer is: Feminist movement.

Sylvia Plath was born in Boston, Massachusetts on October 27, 1932. She was an American poet known under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. Her most known works are the poems Daddy and Lady Lazarus as well as the novel The Bell Jar. On some of her poems the oppression of women and the poet's struggle to find her voice is shown. This is the reason we can say she is a feminist as not a lot of women were brave enough to show this.

Adrienne Rich was a well known poet too. She was born in Baltimore, Maryland  on May 16, 1929. She wrote extensively on sexuality and feminism, this in a more explicit way. In 1980 she wrote an essay named Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence, here she condemned the disempowerment of women and the society that promoted it.
