Writing Assignment: Female Poetry Response

You will compare one or more aspects of Judith Sargent Murray’s “Equality Between the Sexes” and the poem you chose to read by a different female author.

Think critically about comparative lliterary elements between the two works, such as:

• Major themes/subject matter
• Literary elements (metaphors, similies, imagery, poetic structure, etc.)
• Social or political references (many of these people knew one another)
• Other biographical elements that may be important to compare

The response should be treated as a mini-essay (1 page in length) and should use specific textual evidence to support your analysis with citations.
