The feminist aesthetic movement elucidates Sylvia Plath and Adrienne Rich's aesthetic concerns in their poetry. Gender roles somehow limit women to think artistically and philosophically as well. Women are taken for granted but the feminist aesthetic gives way to transcend all the boundaries so all women can think and write freely. This paper contends that how androgyny works in Rich and Plath's poetry and how aesthetically the poetry is influenced by gender roles. According to the feministic notion, society has diminished women's own identity but the feminist theoretical framework offers women a chance to build their own identity and standard in society. Writers have resisted the traditional roles and raised their voices aesthetically against the violence they have faced. Feminist aesthetic challenge's philosophy of beauty, art, and sensory experience which helps us to find out aesthetics in poetry even where there is no philosophy.enThesis
