Edna St. Vincent was born on February 22, 1899 in Harford, Maine, to Horace and Edna Millay. Her family was well-off and educated, and they encouraged Edna's interest in literature and the arts. Already as a child, she began to write poetry and show incredible literary talent.
Edna entered Vassar College in 1917, where she continued to develop her work. At this time, she published her first verse in the magazine "Poetry Store" and began to gain fame as a young and talented poet.
Her education included the study of classical literature, and this had a significant impact on her poetry. She experimented with different styles and shapes, but her work was always deep and emotional.
Edna St. Vincent was not only a poet, but also a passionate feminist. In her poems, she explored themes of female identity, freedom, and individuality. Her work, such as "Inspiration" (A Few Figs from Thistles) and "Dogs and Daughters" (Dogs and Daughters), caused counterversions with their frankness and defiant sexual themes.
