The Prologue of Anne Bradstreet

In this poem, I firstly realized all the rhymes. But after reading Anne Bradstreet's biography, I understood how brave and intelligent she was. She tells about how few rights women had and how she feels about that. She is also unhappy about her religion. She tells aqbout the power that men have and her position to this in an ironic way: ("Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are"). But in some phrases she is totally serious and she was absolutely telling the truth. ("Men have precedency and still excel").
