Anne Bradstreet

For centuries long before the 21st century women had to put up with minimum rights if any, which met whatever the men said they did obediently. By examining the political cartoon it is clear that the women has bare minimum rights, and is forced to work towards her own happiness. Now times have changed, for an instance Anne Bradstreet a famous puritan writer got published, and that was something that never would have happen, due to the preposterous bare minimum rights women had. Also the woman in the political cartoon is in pursuit of happiness and liberty, which isn’t generally something people do in chains. Therefore, times have defiantly changed and people have realized that women deserve the same rights as men, much like today’s society is now

How was I to know you would upset me?I didn't realise as I looked in your eyes...You told me.Oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore.That's when it hurt me.
