Hi

I'm trying to put together a list of female authors who suffered from a mental illness (and committed suicide).

So far I have come up with: Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.

Do you know of any others?

Thanks

Polygon

Wansn't Emily Dickinson a bit on the "loopy" side?

Arrghhhhhh! I just drew a blank. I'll do a google or two and get back to you.


And you know, reading the ENTIRE post does help. I thought you wanted authors who had mental problems and/or committed suicide. Sorry.
