Anne Hutchinson was a Puritan spiritual leader in 17th century at the Massachusetts Bay Colony. English by birth (1591), Anne moved to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 with her husband William Hutchinson and her 10 children. Anne was following in the footsteps of John Cotton a puritan preacher who had moved to America and came into the limelight during the Antinomian Controversy, a religious and political conflict. A conflict that grew as Anne emphasized direct experience of God's grace and challenged the authority of the colony's ministers.
For threatening the Puritan establishment, Anne was eventually tried and excommunicated from the church. She and her followers eventually left Massachusetts and founded the town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. She continued to be a controversial figure in the early history of the American colonies and is considered one of the earliest American feminists for her challenge to the authority of the male-dominated Puritan clergy.
