"Dying as she did in 1963,"?
What the heck!!!
Now I'm studying Toefl listening, but I cannot understand this part of the article...
Can you tell me what it means????
"Dying as she did in 1963, Sylvia Plath never knew that...."
What on the earth is this "as"???
I can guess it means "Although she died in 1963" but why do they use "as she did"
Please help me!!!

"as" refers to the way she died. She took a hand full of sleeping pills and turned on the gas to her oven and stuck her head inside.
I hope this helps!

Heinz is right: "dying as she did" = "dying in the way she did".
