Bradstreet's
poems were popular in both the Old and New World.

Bradstreet's
family helped found the city of Boston and Harvard University.
Bradstreet
unfortunately had poor health, but she managed to have eight
children, move six times in order to further her husband's dreams,
and still write a volume of poetry called The Tenth Muse
Lately Sprung Up in America. This book was published in London in
1650.

Anne Bradstreet was not just the first female writer to be published in America, she is the first poet, period, of any gender.
