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.
The Massachusetts Bay colony was historically Puritan. However, by 1787 there was more religious tolerance and diversity and it did not require political leaders to be religions.
No, the Anglican church influenced Puritan Massachusetts Bay.

There were a number of Puritan ministers and church members who came to disagree with how the colony was being run, but you are probably thinking of Roger Williams. He was among the best-known dissenters and he so strongly disagreed with the colony's Puritan leaders that he left Massachusetts and founded what became Rhode Island.

Thomas Hooker was forced to leave the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He had to leave when he disagreed with the Puritan leaders.
