Anne Hutchinson

Anne Hutchinson (1591 – 1643) was a midwife and key figure in the development of religious freedom in the Thirteen Colonies.
==Background==
Hutchinson was a native of England who eventually emigrated to Massachusetts. A Puritan, she was controversial for her unorthodox religious beliefs and teachings and vocal criticism of local church ministers. She was eventually tried, convicted, excommunicated from her church, and exiled from Massachusetts for her beliefs, and went on to establish one of the founding settlements of the Rhode Island colony.
Almost 75 years after her exile from Massachusetts, her former residence in Boston burned down in the Great Fire of 1711. In its place, the Old Corner Bookstore was built, a building where famous American publisher Ticknor and Fields was based and which was frequently visited by various famous American authors.Plaque at the Old Corner Bookstore:"The Old Corner Bookstore was originally built as an apothecary after the devastating Great Fire of 1711. Originally the land belonged to Anne Hutchinson, the controversial puritan who was excommunicated and banished from Massachusetts for her "heretical" beliefs and sermons. During the mid-nineteenth century, the Old Corner Bookstore was the home of the leading American publisher Ticknor and Fields. They published the works of such luminaries as Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Henry Dave Thoreau. Many of those were frequent visitors to the site."
