Rebecca King, an associate professor of English at MTSU, will present “Anne Bradstreet: Colonial Poet” at 3 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, in Room 227 of Andrew L. Todd Hall.

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is the latest in the spring 2011 MTSU Women’s and Gender Studies Research Lecture Series.

Bradstreet (1612-1672) was the first North American to publish a book of poetry. Her work chronicles the struggles of Puritan life in the New World. She also wrote about her husband, family and faith. In an atmosphere in which the intellectual curiosity Bradstreet displayed was considered an affront to God, she is considered by some to be an early feminist.

This sounds incredibly boring. I mean I'd rather watch golf on TV or traffic on Memorial.
