In society, men tend to be elevated to a higher power in the government and everyday life. This political cartoon shows congressmen saying that they are going with "All men are created equal" and that nobody is interested in your rating system for women. This illustrates how the world was and continues to concentrate their focus more on men. In reference to Anne Bradstreet, Bradstreet writes her poetry in secret and it doesn't get famous until after she dies. Furthermore, in this cartoon, the congressmen say "your rating system for women." This demonstrates how men have cast women off to the side in their rise to power as with the belief that women can not be as effective as men. By relating the cartoon to Amme Bradstreet, Anne stands out among her people because she strays from Puritan doctrine just like women try to rise above the expectations that are set. The world has set low expectations for men; now what will you rise the bar to?
