Brash, controversial and contemptuous, she saw no problems abandoning her children to follow George Fox, in England, nor did she mind being tied to a wagon and dragged through Boston to the cheers and harangues of the people. But despite her recalcitrant character, she defiantly stands by the State House in a bronze statue next to Anne Hutchinson, the other Bostonian who fought for religious freedom.
