Question

Which magazine selected Sylvia Plath as a guest editor in 1953?

• A. Vogue
• B. Harper's Bazaar
• C. Mademoiselle
• D. The New Yorker

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Mademoiselle

In 1953, Sylvia Plath was selected as a guest editor for Mademoiselle magazine, a prestigious opportunity for aspiring female writers. This experience involved spending a month in New York City, working at the magazine, and immersing herself in the world of fashion and publishing. However, this period also coincided with a mental breakdown and suicide attempt, which she later fictionalized in her novel 'The Bell Jar.'
