In Alford, England, Anne Marbury was born on July 20, 1591. She was born in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. Her father was a minister. Although she did not follow his beliefs and teachings, it gave her training and interest in religion. She grew up in the village of Alford in Lincolnshire, England. Anne spent her adolescence in London. At the age of twenty-one, Anne returned to Alford where she met and later married her husband, William Hutchinson. In seventeen years, Anne gave birth to fifteen children, three of the fifteen died due to infant mortality. Anne did not have access to the resources that would allow her to receive a formal education, so she resorted to self-education. Critical thinking and reading came naturally to him. She was also a feminist. She played an important role at a time when women were constantly oppressed and underestimated; and the rights of men and women are far from equal. She virtually led a positive rebellion against the Church of England and every other authoritarian organization she encountered. Being a Puritan spiritual advisor came naturally to Anne Hutchinson. As a woman in the 1600s, she managed to conquer three roles. She was a wife, a mother and, in her own right, a religious figure. The Puritans were people who were increasingly dissatisfied with the Church of England and who worked for religious, moral, and societal reforms. The Puritans believed in the Bible and not the rules of the Church. When the law of the Bible and the law of the Church began to contradict each other, the Puritans began to challenge the Church. This caused controversy and caused many Puritan leaders to leave England. Church leaders wholeheartedly opposed Puritan views and felt that the Puritans... middle of paper...... were lying. Many historians question the outcome of her trial because of her gender. Anne was always encouraged to remain silent and not protest her opinions and beliefs, but she did not listen. She wouldn't allow herself to be a second-class citizen. She was a strong woman, willing to work for what she believed in. Religious leaders were afraid that she would influence other women to act in the same way, which is why they were so eager to end her ministry. Despite their success, Anne's legacy continued to live on. His legacy is not limited to the religious world, but also to the sociological world. She paved the way for women by breaking social norms and assuming a “masculine role” in society; and this legacy will endure forever. “From what I understand, the laws, commandments, rules and edicts are for those who do not have the light that clearly shows the way. » -Anne Hutchinson
