Religious Leader

This is a very good, concise booklet. I found the information I needed for a program for my United Methodist Women's Circle meeting on women in religion in colonial days. I will be looking for others like this to do more programs like this so I will be searching for more booklets like this. Thanks, Jackie Smith

Not bad for a kid's version of history

This book does an excellent job of converting the theological and "feminist" issues that caused Anne Hutchinson's banishment and excommunications into language understandable to the targeted age group. It also places those issues firmly in English church history and in Anne Marbury Hutchinson's life. The story is written so that there is sufficient suspense to keep a child interested. My sense of humor does wish, however, that the book noted that 50 years ago Anne's banishment was finally lifted - a mere 3 centuries after her death :-)
