American Jezebel: The Uncommon Life of Anne Hutchinson, the Woman Who Defied the Puritans
by Eve LaPlante
Description
Eve LaPlante’s biography brings to life Anne Hutchinson, a brilliant, outspoken seventeenth-century woman whose religious convictions and fierce independence challenged the authority of Massachusetts Bay’s Puritan leaders. Through Hutchinson’s trials, exile, and struggle to define her own faith, the book reveals the tensions surrounding gender, power, conscience, and religious freedom in colonial America. Drawing on historical research and a vivid narrative style, it reconsiders Hutchinson’s legacy as both a controversial dissenter and an early symbol of American individualism.
