Anne Hutchinson was born in Alford, England. Although we do not know the exact date of her birth, we know she was baptized on July 20, 1591. Anne Hutchinson father was very involved in the Anglican Church serving as a clergyman. He was the one person who always told her to be independent in her thoughts and actions and her mother taught her about different medicines and herbs. As Anne grew older she became a midwife in the community. She also became good friends with John Winthrop and attended his services. When he fled to Massachusetts she convinced her husband to follow and so they packed up their bags and went to Massachusetts. As Anne began to live there she began to have meeting at her house of 60-80 people. She then began expressing her thoughts on religion to her neighbors
Because of her husband dying in 1642 Anne decided to move to Long Island Sound and decided to live there. After some time Native Americans who lived in the area did not like the new settlers and killed Anne along with her children and servants. Anne was very opinionated and did not back down from her beliefs. Anne is a very important character in history and is still talked about today. Her beliefs and actions still are looked at and somewhat praised. These actions were the roots of many things that occur today and what people say and think. Now people are not afraid to have their own beliefs and can speak about them in the United States freely. They do not get put on trial for having different beliefs about religion or any other topic. Because of these things Anne Hutchinson was very significant and will still live on as an influential person who spoke out about something she deemed wrong. She will always be seen as an important woman who stated her opinions and she will be seen as someone who started a time of speaking out about what you believe in and what you think is
Anne Hutchinson was born Anne Marbury in Alford, England, in 1591. Anne's father was a deacon at Christ Church, Cambridge. Francis Marbury spoke out earnestly about his convictions that many of the ordained ministers in the Church of England were unfit to guide people's souls. For this act of defiance, he was put in jail for one year. Undaunted, Francis Marbury continued to voice his radical opinions, including that many ministers were appointed haphazardly by high church officials to preach in any manner they wanted. Eventually, Anne's father did restrain his verbal attacks on the Church of England, choosing conformity with an imperfect church over constant arrests and inquisitions. (D. Crawford, Four Women in a Violent Time, pps. 11-15.) Being educated at home, Anne read many of her father's books on theology and religion. Much of Anne's later independence and willingness to speak out was due to her father's example. Anne admired her father for his defiance of traditional church principles. She was always fascinated with theological questions such as the fate of the Indians who had no knowledge of Jesus Christ or salvation. Her childhood was a definite factor in the development of the strong, self-assured woman she grew up to be.

Abigail Adams: A Revolutionary American Woman. Abigail Adams married a man destined to be a major leader of the American Revolution and the second President of the United States. Although she married and raised men that became such significant figures during their time, she herself played an important role in the American society. The events that happened in her life, starting from childhood and ending in her adult years, led her to be a revolutionary woman. Three main reasons behind her becoming such a strong, independent woman was the fact that she married a man who had an important role in politics, growing up with no education, and raising a family basically by herself.

Abigail Adams was born in Weymouth, Massachusetts at the North Parish congregational church (The World of Abigail Adams). She came from a well-rounded family. Her great grandfather was a reverend named John Norton, so religion was an important part of her up bringing. Her father, William Smith was a liberal Congregationalist. Her mother Elizabeth Quincy Smith had four children; two daughters, a son who eventually died from alcoholism and Abigail. Abigail was born as a sickly child. Her mother did not believe that she was healthy enough for schooling so she did not live a usual child’s life. She then met with people who believed she was healthy enough and ready to be taught around the age of 11, and she started to further her education from there. Abigail Adams once said, “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence” (Brainy Quotes). In order to gain wisdom you must work. She learned in her life that things do not come by chance and that in order to receive you must giv...
She became very famous because during her time not many women had ever dared to do such thing. Many people started writing about her in the newspaper, about her great audacity, her courage and great achievements. As Susan Butler wrote in her book “The life of Amelia Earhart” which could not have given a better explanation for why Amelia was so recognized, she wrote, “She [Amelia Earhart] was a feminist that appealed to men as well as women because she used her promotion to promote not women’s causes but women’s self-esteem.” Amelia had really been noticed and that impacted her life greatly as she was able to share and promote her feelings, views, and ideas through the newspapers with some of the poems that she wrote. The poem Courage by Amelia Earhart published in the newspaper “Who is Amelia Earhart?” says, “How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare.” This shows Amelia Earhart’s strong thoughts and views as she believes we must dare to do something if we want to obtain it, not all things are obtained easily and we have to work hard. Not only was Amelia able to promote her thoughts and feelings but according to Susan Ware in her book Still
8. Anne Hutchinson is so important to the future of religion in America to day because she supports people to have and listen their own opinions.

The female characters in Ladder of Years and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, Pearl Tull, Delia Grinstead, and Jenny Grinstead, are women who specially thrives in the environment where unjust treatment is mostly apparent. The dysfunctional family dynamics in Ladder of Years and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant allows these female characters to manifest different aspects feminism. Feminism by itself is rather ambiguous, therefore, specific aspects of the Feminist Theories are applied. Liberal feminism, which advocates for individuals to freely develop their own talents and pursue their own interest, is primarily prominent in these novels. Anne Tyler promotes liberal feminism in Ladder of Years and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant through
Three weeks before they were found Anne wrote in her diary: “Day and night during every waking hour, I do nothing but ask myself, have you given him enough chance to be alone? Have you been spending too much time upstairs? Do you talk about serious subjects he’s not yet ready to talk about.?” (Frank 212) They were discovered after two years of hiding and were deported to concentration camps.
In the next and final part when Anne starts talking about the scripture god revealed to her. In the middle she says: “but after he was pleased to reveal himself to me”, “He” being god. That was kind of like the icing on the cake. What got John Winthrop really mad was the fact that Anne said that god was pleased to reveal himself to her this is a big part because Anne is a woman and women are looked down upon in their society. The way Anne acted during her trail compiled with the fact she was a woman and her claim of personal revelation sealed her ticket out of Massachusetts Bay. As I have said before this case shows Annes fiery spirit and her willingness to rebel against oppressors. This document is very important, it shows the “chain of respect” if you could say. It shows that men believed to be superior to women and above them as well.
Almost everyone’s heard of her, there have been numerous books written about her, several thousand letters accounted for that she wrote. She was also the wife of the second president and the mother to the sixth American president, who was this woman? She was Abigail Adams. Abigail Adams life didn’t acquire meaning solely from knowing and being around these two great men however, Adams was eminently worth knowing as an individual herself. Throughout the ages, women have always been involved in war but Abigail Adams brought a new concept to women and war with her involvement in the early colonial years and the American Revolution. Abigail Adams did many things in her lifetime but the questions I will be attempting to answer is how exactly did she impact the Revolutionary War and change the social roles of women in such a male dominated society.
In June 1942 Anne received a diary for her 13th birthday. She began to write down her thoughts and experiences in the form of letters to an imaginary friend. One month later the Franks went into hiding in the office building. For the next two years the Frank family shared cramped quarters with four other Jewish people. In the ending the people she lived with were the ones that published her diary.
