"Mary Dyer did hang as a flag..."

Mary Dyer was the first woman executed in America for her religious beliefs, but her death started a revolution no one could stop.

It tells the true story of her courageous fight for religious freedom against some of the most powerful men in colonial America. Middle-grade readers are encouraged to learn how this humble Quaker inspired kings and governors on two continents and became an international civil rights hero.
