Anne Hutchinson was an astonishing woman who never let anyone change her views or bring her down. But, that is not was highlights her achievements, it is her intelligence that many feared during that time because she didn’t want to subside to the colonial authorities. She was put to trial, was treated unfairly, and put in jail. Yet, she still pushed through and fought for many injustices.

I have great respect for Anne Hutchinson. I admire how she fought for what she believed in and how she stated her opinions. It is fascinating to hear about how she would hold meetings with some of the people to discuss the Minister’s preaching and how much of an influence she had on them. It is too bad how she was not treated fairly in her trial. Overall, this is a very informative article.

I had no Idea Anne Hutchinson did so much for women’s rights. This was an interesting article because it highlights the long-lasting influence of Hutchinson and how successful she was at creating that large of an audience within a strictly puritanical society. It is a shame that she could not have influenced the colony even more so than she already did. Despite this, she also proved herself – and by extension, every woman – capable of defending herself with facts and bible verses (which were more than facts to the puritans) alike.

Hutchinson is an amazing figure and role model. She did many things that others would have been scared to do. The fact that she was able to not only gather a large following but also that it was so large that colonial authorities were concerned with her upsetting the status quo is pretty awesome. She knew what she wanted and she was willing to fight for it. She was able to argue with the governor on equal footing and this should be a lesson that no matter who is trying to keep you down, you should always fight for what you believe in.

Anne Hutchinson was an amazing role model. I didn’t know she had such an impact and influence for women’s rights. I loved that this article showcased the long lasting affects her actions had on the women’s rights movement. I feel like she could’ve influenced people more if she was given the opportunity. This article was amazing in telling her story.

Anne Hutchinson is definitely an inspiration because of her efforts for women’s rights and her teachings contradicting colonial leaders. She fought for their religious freedom and her action made a major milestone where we have the right of religious freedom in America. She was not afraid to speak against authority and I think that her way of speaking freely also could have influenced freedom of speech.

Anne Hutchinson is such an inspiring female. This article was quite informative and very enjoyable to read. This article really gave you an idea of the kind of women Hutchinson was. I personally love to read about powerful females and great women that accomplished much, and i think Hutchinson is a great representation of that. Great article, good job!

Whenever I hear the name Anne Hutchinson in my history class, my brain automatically goes to “oh she’s one of the founders of Rhode Island” not that she was the “first feminist in the new world”. So, reading this article really impressed me since I was learning even more about a woman that I thought I knew well enough. She faced many oppositions against the male population just because she was a “self-educated” woman who did not stand by when something did not sit right with her. It is nice to learn more about historical female figures who influenced America rather than just the men.

I really enjoyed this article about Anne Hutchinson. I have always heard about her but we never learn much about her or what she stood for. I think this article gives great insight on Hutchinson from when she grew up to how she fought for religious freedom. The part that I really enjoyed about this article is when Mia talked about how Hutchinson would hold gatherings at her home to talk about different sermons and what it means to follow God.

As someone who is apart of a female empowering organization, Anne Hutchinson is someone I would have much respect for. She not only stood up to critics, but to people with the power to throw her in jail or give her harsh punishments. The article really captured her courage and strong willingness that she had. Anne had strong beliefs and the author made sure to emphasize that throughout the entire article. She is a historical figure to all females around the world and helps us stand up for our beliefs.
