In my opinion, it really didn't matter if she had someone speak on her behalf. According to the officials she was breaking the fifth commandment with her words. The punishment for this is banishment??? I think this is a little harsh, but Puritan women were not supposed to become "preachers" they were supposed to listen and obey. Thankfully things have changed in this respect. -- Pam Petzold | In my opinion, it really didn't matter if she had someone speak on her behalf.

I found Anne Hutchinson to be a very interesting person. She was incredibly smart and seemed to be making a fool out of the man questioning her. I could almost picture her secretly laughing at the man questioning her as she in turn continually quizzed him. I wonder what would have happened if more women had been like Anne, would the men have eventually given up, or would they have become more harsh and critical of women? -- Emma C. | I found Anne Hutchinson to be a very interesting person.
