Anne Bradstreet (ca. 1612–September 16 1672) was the first published American woman writer.
Bradstreet was born in Northampton, England, the daughter of Governor Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Yorke Dudley. At the age of sixteen she married Simon Bradstreet, an employee and future governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company. Anne and Simon emigrated to America along with Anne's parents in 1630 aboard the Arabella. Bradstreet wrote poetry on domestic and religious themes, and in 1650 her brother-in-law published The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung up in America, which appeared in London, without her knowlege. In 1678 her revised version Several Poems Compiled with Great Variety of Wit and Learning was posthumously published in America. She died in Andover, Massachusetts, and is buried in the Old Burying Point in Salem, Massachusetts.
