Abigail Adams was a woman before her time. She would often write to John the need for women to be treated equally. The letters between them show an intelligent woman who was also promoting women's issues. She was the mother of 6 and was often left alone at their farm in Brainbridge. From her front yard she watched the seizure of Boston and she wrote her husband asking what she should do if the British came to the farm. His answer was to take the children and hide in the woods. She writes about the shortage of supplies and two of her babies died. As a wife of a president and the mother of a future president she wasn't afraid to express what she thought and worked to try to have women's issues heard.
