Abigail Adams (1744-1818) was a woman ahead of her time. Even as a child, she believed that girls were the equal of boys. Although she wasn't allowed to go to school, she read every book she could get her hands on and expressed her opinion on everything. She married John Adams who wasn't afraid of a woman with brains. While John was away starting the new country, Abigail ran their farm and handled their business affairs. She wrote many letters about their children and the concerns of everyday people, but always reminded him that women should be able to go to school, vote, and own property. You'll enjoy reading about this very independent woman.
