The Boston Public Library together with the New England Historic Genealogical Society presents "The Unappreciated Role of Women in the Shaping of Puritanism." While everyone knows of the challenge that Anne Hutchinson posed to the New England puritan establishment, the roles of ordinary women in Congregationalism has been neglected. Dr. Francis J. Bremer, coordinator of [**New England Beginnings**](https://www.newenglandbeginnings.org/about-us), is joined by Donna Curtin, Executive Director of the Pilgrim Society and [**Pilgrim Hall Museum**](https://www.pilgrimhall.org/) in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Together they discuss how women helped to shape puritan ideas, form puritan churches, teach fellow believers, and vote on various ecclesiastical issues.
