Hey there!
Have you ever heard of the movie Hidden Figures?
It was about a group of women in times where they were denied a lot of things because of their gender. However, they took a stand, got into NASA, and were a huge part in the math needed to send astronaut John Glenn to space.
Hope this helps!
The setting in this poem includes both time and place. The author first gives us a sense of both mood and time with the first line:
"Once upon a midnight dreary,"
We as readers are then told that the author/narrator is in his study, as evidence is given of the books, the bust of Pallas, and the other ecoutrements that lend themselves to studious labors. We are certain that this is, at the very least, a room, as Poe refers to his "chamber door" multiple times throughout the poem. In closing, we can conclude that this poem is set in the 1800s, on a dark and stormy night, in the author's place of academic study and leisure.
A giving downtown a wide berth, I drove down many side streets.
First, what is the title and author of the work to which you refer?
