Anne Hutchinson
Anne Hutchinson was a prominent figure in early American colonial history, known for her role as a religious dissenter in the Puritan community of Massachusetts Bay in the 17th century. A skilled midwife and mother, Hutchinson challenged the strict religious orthodoxy of the Puritan leaders, advocating for a personal interpretation of the Bible and emphasizing the importance of individual conscience. Her views on salvation and criticism of the clergy led to her trial and subsequent expulsion from the colony in 1638, making her one of the first women to stand up against the patriarchal norms of her time. Hutchinson's legacy endures as a symbol of religious freedom and women's rights.
