'''Anne Marbury Hutchinson''' (1591 – 1643) was a [[Puritan]] colonist who defied church leaders by teaching that ordinary people could interpret the [[Bible]] for themselves.  She began holding her own [[Christian]] meetings for women at her home in [[Boston]], which some men even begun to attend.

Anne was put on trial twice in the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]], for heresy and for challenging government authority.  Eventually, she was banished from the colony and she relocated to [[Rhode Island]] in 1638.  Thirty-five families followed her when she left.  She was killed by [[Native American|Indians]] on [[Long Island]] in 1643.
