In 1612, Anne Bradstreet was born in Northampton, England, to the parents Thomas Dudley and Dorothy Yorke. At 16 she was married to 25 year old Simon Bradstreet. In 1630, Anne and her family emigrated to America. She found the 3 month journey very difficult due to the harsh living conditions and bad weather. Even after their arrival, Anne still found it difficult to adapt. Anne's father and husband along with John Winthrop made up the British settlements government. Anne was very well educated. She was tutored in literature, history and various languages. She then suffered from paralysis, but this didn't hold her back in living a happy life. After her and her husband settled down and made a home, she had 8 children. Unfortunately, one night their house caught fire and were left homeless. Soon enough they got back on their feet and continued on with their lives.
