A. to be recognized as equal
C. to be treated as full citizens
D. to be involved in the political process
The one thing that no doubt made the biggest change to her life was her marriage to John Adams. Had she remained single or married someone else, her life would have been quite different. in fact, she probably would have been forgotten by now.
she thought liberty was good for women so she joined the daughters of liberty and instead of fighting for rights like the other women in that group she wrote letters to the king and government.

she wor lots o pretty fancy long poffy dresses
Actualy she didn't. It is true that the dresses were long, but they weren't poofy. Mostly, they just were plain colors with lace on the cuffs, along the neckline, and on the hem of the dress.
Abigail Adams was an advocate of married women's property rights and more opportunities for women, particularly in the field of education. Women, she believed, should not submit to laws not made in their interest, nor should they be content with the simple role of being companions to their husbands. They should educate themselves and thus be recognized for their intellectual capabilities, so they could guide and influence the lives of their children and husbands. She is known for her March 1776 letter to John Adams and the Continental Congress, requesting that they, "...remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.[1]
John declined Abigail's "extraordinary code of laws," but acknowledged to Abigail, "We have only the name of masters, and rather than give up this, which would completely subject us to the despotism of the petticoat, I hope General Washington and all our brave heroes would fight."

No, he wasn't. He was just reasonably well-off and his family was prominent in the community where she grew up.

She did consider her daughter-in-law, widowed by her middle son Charles, to be her own daughter, she even lived with her until she died. They had three sons, the youngest Thomas, then Charles, then John Quincy Adams who later became president and was the only son to follow his father as president until George W. Bush.

There is a private joke between them.
Abigail Adams was one of the very many founders of the group called the daughters of liberty.This group of women helped us win the american revolution by boycotting british goods.
Her letters were about many things. Since John Adams was away a great deal she wrote about the farm, her observations of the war ( she could see the Battle of Bunker Hill from the farm), the children ( they had 6 ), her thoughts about the revolution, the shortages they suffered because of the war, and her fears about the British showing up at the farm. She once asked him what she should do if the British did raid the area. He told her to take the children and hide in the woods. She also wrote to him about women's rights and how she thought the country should be organized. They were married over 50 years so her letter reflect her love, worries, and thoughts.
His wedding was July 26,1797 to Louisa Catherine Johnson. They had four children. The only girl died as a baby while they lived in Russia.
