This poem is part of Plath's collection Ariel, which was published posthumously in 1965.
"Childless Woman" reflects the intense emotions and inner turmoil Plath experienced, particularly relating to themes of femininity, motherhood, and identity. The poem explores the sorrow and sense of loss that comes with the idea of being childless, capturing feelings of emptiness, longing, and the social expectations placed on women to fulfill traditional roles. Plath's use of vivid imagery and stark language highlights the profound sense of isolation and despair that can accompany the experience of childlessness.
