story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047895475-E2F2DK08NOPVMUG0A6FD/1591_Hutchinson_Anne.jpg HERstory - Anne Hutchinson (1591-1643) Considered one of the earliest American feminists, Anne Hutchinson was a spiritual leader in colonial Massachusetts who challenged male authority—and, indirectly, acceptable gender roles—by preaching to both women and men and by questioning Puritan teachings about salvation. She was tried on charges of slander against the Puritan ministers and told the court that it had "no power over my body." She was banished to Rhode Island as someone deemed "not fit for our society." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047782946-Y3EV2EE7JL401Q8PDREW/1611_Dyer_Mary.jpg HERstory - Mary Dyer (1611-1660) Mary Dyer was an English and colonial American Puritan-turned-Quaker who was hanged in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, for repeatedly defying a law banning Quakers from the colony based on their beliefs around the indwelling of the Spirit or the "Light of Christ," which the Puritans deemed to be dangerous heresy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047783870-J15TB3E35XCOVJ0J4IMI/1635_Weetamoo.png HERstory - Weetamoo (1635-1676) A sachem of the Wampanoag peoples in Plymouth, Weetamoo commanded an army of over 300 warriors to drive out European settlers who had begun seizing Wampanoag land. She was beloved by her people and incredibly feared by the English. She died crossing a river in battle but her story became a rallying cry for the surviving Native warriors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047784765-DNSWL6FVLX9B6HQNWFES/1645_Potter-Atkins_Zipporah.jpg HERstory - Zipporah Potter Atkins (1645-1705) In 1670, Zipporah Potter Atkins purchased a home on Salem Street in Boston’s North End and became the city’s first African American woman landowner. She owned her property while a single woman and maintained control of her land during the course of her marriage before selling it in 1699 as the first African American woman to initiate a real estate deed in Suffolk County. The site of Atkins' house is commemorated today with a granite marker along the Greenway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047784658-SJ5D7P5U3NRHPXIG9A0F/1712_Sutton_Belinda.jpg HERstory - Belinda Sutton (1712-1799) Slavery was ruled unconstitutional in Massachusetts in 1783 as the Revolution ended. This gave Belinda Sutton the opportunity to petition the Legislature for reparations for the close to 50 years of unpaid labor she endured for the Royall estate in Medford. She was granted a yearly sum that she petitioned for each year. Her petition provided strong rhetoric to be used by antislavery advocates and established precedent for future reparations cases. Belinda's petition is one of the earliest narratives of an African woman in the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047785649-QVXWM4GYV2FC4VRDB9E0/1714_Derby_Sarah.jpg HERstory - Sarah Langley Hersey Derby (1714-1790) Sarah Derby, daughter of a local innkeeper, founded Derby Academy in Hingham in 1784 as one of the earliest coeducational schools in the country and the oldest co-educational independent school in New England. The school was established through an act of the Legislature (Chapter 32 of the Acts of 1784) which noted "the education of youth has ever been considered, by the wise and good, as an object of the highest consequence to the safety and happiness of a free people." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047785621-72TB1RHFJ36G5UCP67Q7/1718_Tulip_Peggy.jpg HERstory - Margaret “Peggy” Tulip (1718-1794) Margaret "Peggy" Tulip of Lexington sued the courts to regain her freedom after she was emancipated and then re-enslaved. After three trials, Margaret won back her status as a free woman in 1770 although, unlike the later Elizabeth Freeman lawsuit, Tulip's trials were not a referendum on the legality of slavery. Possibly a Charlestown native, she had also lived in Woburn before arriving in Lexington where she married an enslaved person from a neighboring farm. She was a wife, mother, and grandmother who demonstrated the challenges Black women confronted in attaining liberty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047786468-V1DDNYS8XW7P8670OXYF/1728_Warren_Mercy.jpg HERstory - Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814) Mercy Otis Warren was a published poet, political playwright, and satirist during the age of the American Revolution, a time when women were encouraged and expected to keep silent on political matters. A Barnstable native and Plymouth resident, Warren engaged with the leading figures of the day such as John, Abigail, and Samuel Adams, and became an outspoken commentator and historian, as well as the leading female intellectual of the Revolution and early days of the new republic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047786616-QQH2JO4MLY1DM7276VEB/1751_Murray_Judith.jpg HERstory - Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820) A prominent essayist of the American republic, Judith Sargent Murray of Gloucester was an early advocate of women’s equality, access to education, and the right to control their earnings. Judith began publishing her writing to earn her own income after her ship captain husband fell into debt during the Revolution. She authored the noted work "On the Equality of the Sexes." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047787598-NWSDB4WPRX9V2YFSMI3W/1753_Wheatley_Phillis.jpg HERstory - Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) Phillis Wheatley was an enslaved poet from West Africa who became the first African American author of a published book of poetry. Wheatley was a strong supporter of America's fight for independence and penned several poems in honor of the Continental Army's commander, George Washington, and for revolutionary causes in the United States. Wheatley sent one of her works, written in 1775, to the future president, eventually inspiring an invitation to visit him at his wartime headquarters in Cambridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047788275-ZQYPY64QSPM47ZYBUR7N/1755_Adams_Hannah.png HERstory - Hannah Adams (1755-1831) Hannah Adams is believed to have been the first woman in the U.S. to work as a professional writer. Adams was the first professional author to be a member of the Boston Athenæum, where some of her letters, early editions of her books and her portrait are kept. Her works included a book on the diverse religions of the world and an early history of New England. Born in Medfield, she became popular in Boston high society circles and died in Brookline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047788738-L65KTYM4UHKIVNC1VX4I/1788_Hale_Sarah.jpg HERstory - Sarah Josepha Hale (1788-1879) Poet and author Sarah Josepha Hale wrote letters to many presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, whom she persuaded to make Thanksgiving a national holiday. Starting in 1837, the Boston resident was the editor of the influential Godey's Lady's Book, the most widely circulated magazine prior to the Civil War. She was an advocate for women, campaigned for the completion of the Bunker Hill Monument, and was also the author of the nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad6125aa9e02848d367cb47/1744047789071-KLONSWX7JXU4F65SVUHU/1793_Mott_Lucretia.jpg HERstory - Lucretia Coffin Mott (1793-1880) At a time when she was criticized for speaking as a woman, Lucretia Coffin Mott was an early feminist activist and strong advocate for ending slavery.
