Winthrop believe Hutchinson should be punished for being known for the women that have had a great share in the promoting and divulging of those opinions that cause of this trouble. Winthrop believed that Hutchinson’s action for maintaining a meeting and assembly in her house was not tolerable nor fitting for her sex.…

Anne Bradstreet was eighteen when she arrived in Massachusetts Bay on the Arbella in 1630.…
