"Anne Hutchinson remains an iconic figure in early American history and women's history.
American historians recognize Hutchinson as an influential religious leader ousted
from Massachusetts Bay because of her outspoken criticism of the colony's clergy,
and she remains one of the few women taught to school children and remembered from
history lessons. She has been called a proto-feminist, a political dissident, a colonial
reformer, and suffragette. Historians have proved slightly more sophisticated. From
Perry Miller to Bryce Traister, more than eighty years of scholarship on New England
theology and colonization have positioned Hutchinson and the controversy as a critical
moment during the first decade of Massachusetts' settlement, although the importance
of Hutchinson herself (rather than her male supporters) and the actual nature of her
challenges have been matters of intense debate. John Winthrop, the first governor
of Massachusetts, established the parameters that have limited historians' perceptions
and interpretations. In his defensive response to theologians and clerics in civil
war England, A Short Story of the Rise, reign, and ruine of the Antinomians, Familists,
& Libertines, Winthrop delineated the ideological afflictions and as well as the ability
of the independent churches of Massachusetts Bay to maintain order and orthodoxy.
In its very title, Winthrop framed the battle in terms of heretical sects, influencing
not only English correspondents but future historians, who have labeled this the 'Antinomian
Controversy.' From a purely technical standpoint, Massachusetts was afflicted neither
by familists, who found the center of true religion to be love, nor by antinomians,
who argued that faith abrogated the need to follow the law. Still, historians have
produced an enormous collection of articles and books emphasizing the theological
and political battles among men"
