Anne Bradstreet

Anne Bradstreet was a 17th-century poet and the first published female poet in America. Born in England in 1612, she immigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her family. Her work reflects her personal experiences, including love, family, and spirituality. Bradstreet's poetry, written in a time when women had limited public roles, expresses both her emotions and her thoughts on Puritan values. Her most famous collection, "The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America," showcases her talent and establishes her place in American literature, paving the way for future women writers.
