All these subjects were considered to be sinful to Puritan society, which made Bradstreet a polemic figure by the standards of the time.

Anne Bradstreet married at the age of 16 with Simon Bradstreet who held a political post, in the same way as her father. The political position of her husband, made it possible to avoid the disapproval of the Puritan society.
