She was an educated wife and mother who came to the colonies in the height of Calvinism. She was devoted to God and to her family, she lived in a hard time for women, yet she still wrote beautiful poetry about her love for God, her uncertainty about herself, and her love for her Husband and children. She would have been the model woman of her time, if not for the fact that her brother secretly brought her works to England to be published. She truly was an amazing woman. There is a website of some of her best works. some of my favorites: To My Dear and Loving Husband; By Night When Others Soundly Slept; The Flesh and the Spirit
