2009 NHD Topic Selection paragraph

I choose Anne Hutchinson for my NHD project because I am interested in the the role women played in the 17th Century in the colonies. Especially, during the time of the Salem With Trials.

This person is important to history because without their efforts, we may not have broken away from the strict, overwhelming control of the Puritan way of life. She was banished from Salem for fighting against their rule and left to start her own colony in what is now Rhode Island, where she became he leader of her new religious community.

For this weeks research, I found an article at http://www.gratwomen.org/women.php?acion=viewone&id=84. I will read and summarize it for next week.

Great job. I like you annotations. You should also try to get books from the library. There is a lot of information in the Philadelphia area too. You should contact the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Library Company to see what sources they have.
