InAnne Bradstreet’s poem “The Author to her Book”, Bradstreet uses her role as an advocate for women’s rights as she touches on a variety of social issues in relation to female rights and breaking the patriarchy’s oppressive limits for women in the 1600's. She touches on these issues through the lens of a Puritan female poet, in fact, the first New World poet, who had recently beared a child: her book of poetry The Tenth Muse, Lately Sprung Up in America. “The Author to her Book” is a poem that examines women’s lack of rights throughout this era and the radical actions that Bradstreet makes in publishing The Tenth Muse in contrast with her humble response to its publication.
