Anne Marbury Hutchinson

In honor of Women's History Month, I share a great story about my 11th Great Grandmother - Anne Marbury Hutchinson.  She was the first to stand for civil liberty and religious toleration in America.


Her statue (above) stands today at the Courthouse in Boston, Massachusetts.  Banished and excommunicated for sharing her religious views, she was officially pardoned by Governor Michael Dukakis in 1987.  She is a great example of standing up for her beliefs and not backing down.  She was murdered in 1643 after living a life of kindness and commitment to serving others.
