Anne Dutton's many writings are significant because they impacted evan-gelical revival in England (and in the colonies).

The autobiography is in three parts with and appendix of her publications and life history until 1750, and her famous letter on the lawfulness of a woman appearing in print. It is a priceless treasure of an eighteenth century British Baptist woman's life, ministry, publications and contribution of Evangelicalism in England and in America. Dutton gives her own account of her own of her conversion experience, two marriages, ministry contributions with her yokefellow husband, Benjamin Dutton and his death at sea.

These show her great contribution to the evangelicalism and her great spiritual and theological life and contribution to the Baptist ministry and church and Evangelicalism in America and England.
