Short Biography
Anne Hutchinson (baptized July 20, 1591 – August 20, 1643) was an early-17th century Puritan living in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Netherlands who became the leader of a dissident church discussion group. Hutchinson held Bible meetings for women that soon appealed to men as well. Eventually, she went beyond Bible study to proclaim her own theological interpretations of sermons. Some of these offended colony leadership and Hutchinson was accused of practicing antinomianism. A major controversy ensued and after a trial before a jury of officials and clergy, she was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because she supported many ideas later seen in the American Constitution.
