Bradstreet Gate

Bradstreet Gate, on the perimeter of Harvard Yard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a wrought-iron gate opposite Memorial Hall.[1] In 1997 it was dedicated to Anne Bradstreet on the 25th anniversary of female students living in Harvard's freshman dormitories.[2][3][4] A plaque with a quote from one of Bradstreet's poems was added in 2003.[5]
