In this episode of AHR, we discuss the role of Mistress Anne Hutchinson, now regarded by many as one of the most influential female figures in early American History. Defiant of the enforced spiritual laws of New England, she becomes an object of fixation for Govenor of Massachusetts John Winthrop. As her following builds, he begins his campaign to defame and smear her name as a spiritual leader. Meanwhile, Roger Williams continues to fight the powers that be in Boston.
