Anne Hutchinson founded her own religious gatherings in the early 17th century primarily to promote her beliefs in individual interpretation of The Bible and to challenge the strict Puritan orthodoxy of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. She advocated for a more personal and direct relationship with God, emphasizing grace over works, which led to her being accused of heresy. Her actions and teachings attracted a significant following, but ultimately resulted in her banishment from the colony in 1638. Hutchinson's efforts highlighted the struggles for religious freedom and the role of women in early American society.
