Iako najpoznatija po svojoj poeziji, Plath je također napisala polu-autobiografski roman, The Bell Jar pod pseudonimom Victoria Lucas, u kome je opisala svoju brobu s depresijom. Zajedno s Anne Sexton, Plath se pripisuje promicanje ispovjedne poezije - književnog pravca koga su stvorili Robert Lowell i W.D. Snodgrass.

Plath je također poznata po privatnom životu koji su obilježili duševni problemi i brak s engleskim pjesnikom Tedom Hughesom. On je okončan Plathinim samoubistvom, nakon koga je postala feministička ikona i mučenica.
