english: She writes, “and I a smiling woman/ I am only thirty/ And like the cat I have nine times to die.” But the poem is also a testament  to survival: “I rise with my red hair/ And I eat men like air.” This unflinching language has made Plath  an important touchstone for countless other readers and writers who sought to break the silence surrounding issues of trauma,  frustration, and sexuality.
non_english: Piše: „a ja nasmejana žena. Meni je tek trideseta i kao mačka mogu devet puta da umrem.” Međutim, pesma je i testament opstanku: „Ustajem s kosama crvenim i muškarce kao zrak tamanim.” Zbog nepokolebljivog jezika, Plat je postala važna odrednica za bezbrojne čitaoce i pisce koji su pokušavali da prekinu ćutnju u vezi sa pitanjima traume, frustracije i seksualnosti.
