This poem is one of the most well-known of Dickinson's poems.
Though short and barely a few stanzas, it encapsulates the dilemmas and social constrains faced by women. It resonates with the institution of marriage even today.
Though this astute use of irony, Dickinson shows her defiance towards the "high" status of being a wife.
