Her Kind Overview

“Her Kind” is a three-stanza free-verse poem by American poet Anne Sexton. It first appeared in her collection To Bedlam and Part Way Back in 1960, which was widely praised for its intimate confessional nature. The poem takes a hard look at women’s roles in mid-twentieth-century America, and the way those roles have echoed throughout time.
