During that time though, it went through many, many revisions and versions. This book felt like it took FOREVER to write, but in reality it was about one year from the time I started to the time it was acquired by Beaming Books. A gifted writer of deep faith, Anne Bradstreet blazed a trail for the rights of women to study, write, and achieve. This charmingly illustrated picture book tells the inspiring story of how a Puritan woman overcame the obstacles facing women of her era to become one of the most famous poets in history. But when the world learned about Anne’s poetry, even she was astonished by what happened next. Puritan women in the 1600s weren’t allowed to be writers. She let her thoughts from the day tumble out, memorizing each poem line by line before daring to shape the words onto scraps of scarce parchment. Late at night, with her children tucked into bed and her husband away on business, Anne Dudley Bradstreet composed poems by candlelight. The inspiring story of a Puritan woman whose passion for writing poetry broke barriers.
