Produktbeschreibung
Gifted with an extraordinary mind, an intense spiritual passion, and an awesome charisma, Anne Hutchinson arrived in Massachusetts in 1634 and established herself as a leader of women. She held private religious meetings in her home and later began to deliver her own sermons. She inspired a large number of disciples who challenged the colony's political, social, and ideological foundations, and scarcely three years after her arrival, Hutchinson was recognized as the primary disrupter of consensus and order - she was then banished as a heretic. The Passion of Anne Hutchinson examines issues of gender, patriarchical order, and empowerment in Puritan society through the story of a woman who sought to preach, inspire, and disrupt.
