1 answer

Abigail Adams famously urged her husband, John Adams, to "remember the ladies" when he was involved in the formation of the new U.S. government. In a letter dated March 31, 1776, she emphasized the importance of women's rights and concerns, advocating for laws that would protect and ensure women's rights and interests, warning that men would "be tyrannical" if given unchecked power. Her letters highlight her desire for greater consideration of women's roles and rights in the new government and society. This appeal is often seen as an early call for women's rights in the United States.
