Elizabeth Winthrop

A video documentary entitled ''Elizabeth Winthrop: All the Days of Her Life'' will have its premiere in Greenwich, where she lived in the 17th century. The documentary will be shown at the Perrot Memorial Library on Thursday at 7:30 p.m., and at the Greenwich Historical Society on Friday at 12:30 and 4 p.m.

Joni Steele Kimberlin made the video after reading Anya Seton's 1958 novel ''The Winthrop Woman.'' Elizabeth Winthrop, described as a rebel at heart, left England and went to Massachusetts in 1631, where her uncle, John Winthrop, was governor. But she picked up and left to escape the Puritan grip on her life and that of the community. Settling in Greenwich with her family (her married name was Feake), she bought land and is said to have lived as a free-thinking woman.

The video may be seen on public television at 10 p.m. on June 14, and on the morning of June 17. In the meantime, the program at the Perrot Library, including a talk by Ms. Kimberlin, is free. Tickets to the 12:30 screening and lunch at the Historical Society, and the 4 p.m. screening and tea are $22. Call (203) 879-6899, extension 10 for reservations or more information.
