Men have always been considered the superior gender, especially back in the days of Anne Bradstreet. Bradstreet, however, was determined to show that she was not going to be held back by the standards of women set by society. Canadian author Margaret Atwood perfectly put in to perspective how men and women are viewed in society when she said, “We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly.” Why is it that women are taught that they have to prove themselves worthy to live in a man’s world? I believe Anne Bradstreet, like many women today, wanted equality of the genders. Bradstreet, unknowingly, contributed to an important movement that is still around today, the feminist movement.

This semester could be best described by the quote from Louisa May Alcott,“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.” Since the first day of class, I knew I would be facing a mountain of a storm like multiple essays and speeches, but I was willing to take the leap and head straight in. I didn’t know then and still don’t know now if I will do well in this class, because I am not the best writer or communicator or captain. But all I do know, is that I’ll put all my effort into guiding my ship in the right direction.
