Abigail Adams An American Woman

Abigail Adams exemplified what it meant to be a woman, an American, and a revolutionary during the transitional period between colonial status and independence. As an American, she discovered the uniqueness of her nation's ideas, conventions, and habits of behavior. An early advocate for women's rights, Abigail called on her president husband to "remember the ladies" when forming his policies. Quietly, yet resolutely, fighting from the shadows of her husband's distinguished political career, Abigail developed an early voice for revolution among women, speaking to future generations when it was their turn to take a stand for social change. Articulate and introspective, Abigail recorded in detail the exciting events that colored her long life. In a rich narrative style, Charles W. Akers takes these personal accounts and weaves them into a deeply moving journey through early America as seen through the eyes of one of history's most exceptional women. It is a journey that beautifully tells the tale of a woman in love with one man, one country, and the idea of equality for all women. Her words have been carefully preserved and are delicately painted on the pages of this book, bringing to life a story whose color will never fade from history.Akers, Charles is the author of 'Abigail Adams An American Woman', published 2005 under ISBN 9780321328878 and ISBN 0321328876.
