More than a hundred years of scholarship on Puritans and New England colonization have positioned the controversy surrounding her as a critical moment during the first decade of Massachusetts's settlement, although the importance of Hutchinson herself (rather than her male opponents and supporters) and the actual nature of her challenge have been matters of intense debate. While most articles and books emphasize the theological and political battles among men, women's historians have turned to Hutchinson, but as emblematic of the status and limitations surrounding women. This project approaches Hutchinson from a position informed by intellectual and women's history, pushing into the intricate, competing, but sometimes complementary cultural systems of Puritan spirituality and gender ideology.| Item type | Current library | Class number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
