Unit 1, lesson 4 (page 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Throughout women in colonial America, Anne Bradstreet was one of the strongest and most influential figures of the time. Mrs. Bradstreet lived from the years 1612-1672 not knowing that her life and works would inspire later generations. Ever since Anne was a little girl, her father, Thomas Dudley, would make Anne write poetry so they could read it together. Later, at the age of 16, Anne married future governor Simon Bradstreet, and the two boarded the Arbella ship to Plymouth, Massachusetts, accompanied by the famous sermon writer John Winthrop. Readers learn that Anne has a personal and formal writing voice. Anne became a well-known colonial writer not only by the way she writes, but also because she was a female (187).
