Who Was Abigail Adams?

A smart and independent colonial girl
Both the wife of a president and the mother of a president
The first First Lady to live in the White House

Abigail Adams was a strong woman far ahead of her time. She urged her husband, President John Adams, to “remember the ladies” and despite having no formal education herself, she later advocated for equal education in public schools for both boys and girls. She was also the first First Lady to live in the White House! This biography tells the story of Abigail Adams and her role in America’s Revolutionary War period.
