Wright expresses the theme of motherhood in Request of a year through the context of the poem as she has become a mother herself. The dialogue "Year if you have no Mother's day present planned, reach back and bring the firmness of her hand". This shows that she is a mother herself as being a mother she would receive a mothers day present. The dialogue also shows that she would like to be like her great grand mother who showed strong motherhood as she looks up to the firmness of her hand.

Wright expresses her influence of women in the line 'If the year is meditating a suitable gift, I should like it to be the attitude of my great-grandmother. The influence of her great great-grandmother had an impact on Wright as she admired her grandmother enough to base her wanting of their Great great grandmother's characteristics.
