Yes, she along with Roger Williams marked some of the first religious rebellions in colonial America. Both were "kicked out" of the Puritan colony Massachusetts for their ideas on how a Puritan should go about their life. One could say that the theme of revolution in the 1600s carried over to the eventual American Revolution. Anne Hutchinson was also distinct from Roger Williams because she was a women. She gained a huge following (almost as popular as her great-great-grandson Thomas Hutchinson, a Lieutenant Governor, was unpopular) that raised ideas of womens rights. She stepped boldly outside of her supposed role as a wife, causing many traditional male clergymen discontent. Women's rights too would be a theme in America's history down the line: from "rebublican mothers" during and after the Revolution to suffrage in the 1920s.
