"The Tenth Muse" is a collection of poems by Anne Bradstreet, published in 1650. It is notable for being one of the first volumes of poetry published by a woman in the American colonies. The work reflects Bradstreet's personal experiences, including her roles as a wife and mother, as well as her reflections on faith and the challenges of life. The title "The Tenth Muse" refers to the idea of a muse inspiring creativity. In classical mythology, there are nine muses, but Bradstreet positions herself as a new voice in literature, contributing to the tradition of poetry. Her work has been influential in American literature and women's writing.
