American Jezebel
Image from "American Jezebel" by Eve LaPlante Email to friend
Colonial era preacher, midwife and mother of 16, Anne Hutchinson just didn't seem to know a woman's place. She was called an "American Jezebel" for publicly teaching and interpreting scripture. A century and a half before the American Constitution erected a barrier between church and state, Anne Hutchinson defended herself against judges who proclaimed God was on their side. Banished from Massachusetts, Hutchinson helped establish religious tolerance in the new colony of Rhode Island.
