The Anonymous Lady (Blog-post #6)

The anonymous lady is a well-known writer, but her she is not well published. Her real name is Martha Fowke Sansom. She wrote mostly love poems, yet she also wrote about her own writing. In "On Being Charged with Writing Incorrectly", she writes about how she doesn't write like scholarly educated men. She says that other "wiser" people's writing is dull and boring. All the sophistication in the world can't make their writing very interesting. This is supported with line 14 "These mighty dull, these mighty wise" and is repeated at the end. She explains that she doesn't write like the well-known instructor Busby. That she writes incorrectly because the one man that is determining how everyone is supposed to write says she's doing it wrong. This I believe to be significant because women at this time didn't get a say in anything. Women were also not as educated as men, so how would she know the proper way to write something? I feel as though this helps lead the way for other women to write and become more educated.
