Anne B.

I felt the readings that went along with Anne Bradstreet were quite interesting, in that they were about the value of her writing. I believe the title "The Prologue" is both intreguing and ironic, in that her writing was the first writing published in the New World, and that she is forfronting a womens rights campaign. Throughout her writing "career" Anne encountered difficulty finding appreciation or a public view of value in her work because of the fact she was a woman. In some of her writing Bradstreet explains that her writings are of value and women writers need to be recognised. Another important factor I believe is worthy of recognition is that in "Verses apun the burning of my house" throughout the mentioned tough times in her life bradstreet clung close to God.
