You are thinking of Anne Hutchinson. In Puritan times (the early 1600s), women's role was to obey and submit, and they were not supposed to speak in public. But Anne had ideas of her own and even wanted to do some preaching; she believed some of the Puritan ministers were wrong about their interpretation of Christian scripture. She was a threat to the traditionalists, and she was driven out as a result. There are a number of books and essays that have been written about her life, but she certainly tried to expand what women were allowed to do, and she was willing to defend her beliefs, even if it meant being persecuted.
