      abstract = {In a time when women could not vote, hold public office,  or teach outside the home, the charismatic Hutchinson  wielded remarkable political power. Her unconventional  ideas attracted a following of prominent citizens eager for  social reform. Charged with heresy and sedition, she  defended herself brilliantly, but the court, faced with a  perceived threat to public order, banished her for behaving  in a manner "not comely for [her] sex." The seeds of the  American struggle for women's and human rights can be found  in her courageous story. Nathaniel Hawthorne used her as a  model for Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter; her  detractors referred to her as "the instrument of Satan," a  witch, "more bold than a man," and Jezebel--the ancient  queen who, on account of her tremendous political power,  was "the most evil woman" in the Bible.--From publisher  description.},
