Set in 1637, the narrative centers on Anne Hutchinson, a pregnant midwife facing charges of heresy and sedition before a male-dominated court. Despite societal restrictions on women, Hutchinson's compelling ideas garnered a significant following advocating for social reform. Her eloquent defense highlights her political acumen, yet the judges, perceiving her as a threat to the established order, ultimately banish her for defying gender norms. The story explores themes of gender, power, and the struggle for individual rights in a repressive society.
