Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar

Virtual

Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and special guests each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This month’s novel is Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar. In the hauntingly beautiful pages of The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath takes us on a gripping journey into the fragile psyche of Esther Greenwood. Set against the backdrop of 1950s America, this semiautobiographical novel explores the stifling expectations placed upon women and the suffocating grasp of societal norms.
