Sexton was born in Newton, Massachusetts, and spent most of her life near Boston.

Sexton helped open the door not only for female poets, but for female issues; Sexton wrote about menstruation, abortion, masturbation, then adultery before such issues were even topics for discussion, helping redefine the boundaries of poetry.

 Sexton
Sexton draws attention to this passivity in her poem, and describes the frustration a woman feels at being forced into inactivity.
Sexton's poem is not just a re-telling of Sleeping Beauty, but a feminist interpretation of the tale, and the addition of the king forcing an incestuous relationship on his daughter compels a reader to focus on the feminist concern of where the princess fits within the power relations of the story.
Sexton's "Briar Rose" is a feminist telling of a fairy tale that brings out the complications and disturbing aspects of the tale and shows that the story cannot honestly end "happily ever after." It is a tale which raises questions and problems and forces the reader to think about the woman's role in the story.

Sexton's biographer, Diane Middlebrook, recounts possible sexual abuse by Anne's parents during her childhood; at the very least, Anne felt that her parents were hostile to her and feared that they might abandon her.
In 1959 Sexton unexpectedly lost both of her parents, and the memory of her difficult relationships with them--so abruptly ended--led to further breakdowns.

 The Academy of American Poets - Anne Sexton
In 1955, following the birth of her second daughter, Sexton suffered another breakdown and was hospitalized again; her children were sent to live with her husband's parents.
Snodgrass (who exerted a great influence on her work), and other "confessional" poets, Sexton offers the reader an intimate view of the emotional anguish that characterized her life.
She made the experience of being a woman a central issue in her poetry, and though she endured criticism for bringing subjects such as menstruation, abortion, and drug addiction into her work, her skill as a poet transcended the controversy over her subject matter.

 Anne Sexton (1928-1974)
The third problem is most troubling for teaching Sexton; teachers might emphasize the necessity for literature to confront and deal with controversial and uncomfortable themes such as suicide, mortality, madness.

Sexton's early poetry was preoccupied with form and technique; she could write in tightly constrained metrical forms, as demonstrated in To Bedlam and Part Way Back and All My Pretty Ones.
