World history is the history of rebellions and revolts experienced since the
 devil’s rebellion against God, described in holy books. Among the most striking examples
 of this turbulent and dynamic process are man’s revolt against the church with
 Renaissance, people’s against the king with French Revolution, and women’s against
 patriarchal order and men with Modernism. The rights not given to the rebels by their rulers
 are indeed behind all these rebellions. In fact, the last one is referred to as a women’s
 rights struggle that started in the 19th century and spread to the 20th century in western
 culture. Anne Sexton, with her poem titled “Her Kind” and analysed in our study, presents
 her works as one of the cornerstones of American women’s poetry in the last century. In
 this poem in which she challenges the roles of obedient housewife, chaste mother and
 faithful wife imposed on women for thousands of years due to Eve archetype, Sexton also
 opposes the social exclusion, accusation and stigmatization of women who get rid of these
 roles shaped by traditional male perspective. She writes the manifesto of the free and
 independent woman by stating firmly on the last line of each stanza “I am her kind”. In our
 study, the manifesto that Sexton produces in this poem is examined with a focus on its
 precursors, and it is concluded that this rebellion actually stemmed from long years of
 obedience. Writing with the belief that God imposes this obedience on women with His
 holy books, the state with its laws, society with its traditions and men with their physical
 and economic power, Sexton rejects all these traditional and stereotyped female identities,
 secondary to men. Thus she proves to be one of the iconoclast female figures of the 20th
 century, thereby writing her name in the history of women’s struggle.
