A Verye Dangerous Woman: Anne Hutchinson
Arriving in Boston from England in 1634, Anne Hutchinson settled into life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Deeply religious and a skilled midwife, Hutchinson was embraced by the Puritan community. However, she began to question the minister’s sermons. When she refused to remain silent, Boston clergymen together
with Governor John Winthrop condemned Hutchinson as “a Verye Dangerous Woman” who stubbornly refused to recant her “fowle and Damnable Herisies.”
