The purpose of the present paper is to enlighten the conceptions on how Christina Georgina Rossetti reveals her strong, independent and powerful personality through her poems and how her personality gets reflected in Sylvia Plath�s Poems. During the Age of Queen Victoria, women were brought into a circle and they had to live upto that circle. Men were unsympathetic towards women, considered them as an object and not as a human being. Women were restricted to act upon their personal rights to establish their identity. Through the medium of poetry, Christina Georgina Rossetti steps out of her circumstances and feelings. She expresses the pressurized life of Victorian Women and raised her voice against the ideology of Victorians through her works. The great value of her work lies in the betrayal appears most cruelly and terribly in the relationship between man and woman. Her multi-layered structure of her poems adds power to her as a Poet. Women writers addresses feminist issues in various literatures. The paper attempts to explore the reflection of Christina�s independent personality in Sylvia Plath�s poems. Plath is one of the pioneer of popularizing Confessional poetry and she is considered the first American Woman Poet, who put her personal sufferings and miseries on her writings. Like Christina, Plath in her works, expresses her distress, mental and emotional pain to establish her strong personality. As a Confessional writer, Plath reveals her bitter personal experiences in a symbolic language. The focus of the paper is to explore how Christina and Sylvia Plath reversed the gender conventions by taking poetry as a medium to make their voice everlasting and no longer be ignored.
