Political Cartoon

The plight of women has taken multiple years and is a very challenging task. In the political cartoon a sorrowful women is rocking in a rocking chair and clasping her arms around a roll that says "The ballot" like it is a baby. This shows that the women holding onto the roll like it is a baby because a women's baby is precious to her and so she is treating her desire of the ballot preciously too because it is what she has hope for. Anne Bradstreet relates to the cartoon because she also preciously holds onto what she loves, which is her husband's love and by using paradoxes like, "Then when we live no more, we will live ever" and "If ever two were one, then surely we" she reassures herself of that love. Also in the political cartoon, it says, "Hugging a delusion". This shows that this women's hope is just a fantasy because what she wishes for is a false idea. The cartoon furthermore relates to Anne Bradstreet because she wants her husband to always be around and there for her when she most needs him but that is a hallucination because it does not follow Puritan doctrine. Overall a person's sex and societal believes can really restrict him or her of their hopes and dreams.
