Anne Bradstreet: A Woman!!!

Anne Bradstreet writes as though she is just a mere woman writing poor quality slop that is no comparison  to the men poets of her time. Anne uses an amount of sarcasm, that is almost funny, to point out how unrecognized her potential and skill as a writer are, and how unrecognized all women are in society. I like how she refrences the Greeks and Romans and how they viewed women as virtually equal in most things, and even suppiorier in the arts; she also says that these people were the penicle of human achievment, so basically, "hint hint, nudge nudge" about womens' worth.
