Abstract

Patriarchy as a systematic organization not only has changed the essence of relation between
men and women during the years, but also has affected the nature of women’s strongest
connections one of which is mother-daughter relation. This article is a study of Sylvia Plath’s
novel The Bell Jar with the use of Adrienne Rich’s notion of matrophobia.
