Here a 1901 halftone shows Anne Hutchinson leading a gathering in her Boston home, a setting that mattered because her meetings drew women and men to discuss the previous Sunday's sermons, which the colony's ministers found troubling. Hutchinson arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634, was tried and banished in 1637, and settled in Rhode Island before her death in 1643. Because the scene was reproduced more than two centuries after these events, the image shows how later Americans chose to remember her, as a symbol of religious dissent.
