In the poem, the writer describes the life in 17 century. Whatever men did, they were always respected by others. However, women were different, because the women existed as a week class at that time. Usually, women did the easier job, did not have as much power as men, and the position was low. Thus, it is hard for women to be esteemed.
Absolutely, this poem exactly reflects the regular social life of that era. But in the poem, the writer did not show a negative mood, but positive. She thought the women should get respect just like men, and at the same time, women should also have the rights to do anything they want.
In my opinion, the thought in the poem is an advanced concept and a great progress of society. There were still women like the writer who wanted to change this situation. And it was the time the position for women class began to rise up in the society.
Very good. I believe that you have a solid understanding of the things we discussed about this woman and her work. Good blog post.
