A Great Woman

I truly admire Abigail Adams. She was a patriot. She loved and supported her husband, while maintaining her own identity. She loved this new nation, with thoughts and ideas during a time when womens thoughts and ideas weren't welcome. She and her husband were true partners. She was educated. She raised her children pretty much by herself, (one becoming a president) while her husband was off forming the new nation. She took care of the family farm. I like her so much that I named a daughter after her, and she has a lot of her traits. She is hardworking, outspoken, loyal, loving, gets what she wants and will do anything for anybody.
Here are a few quotes from Abigail Adams that I love.
"A people fired.. with love of their country and of liberty, a zeal for the public good, and a noble emulation of glory, will not be disheartened or dispirited by a succession of unfortunate events. But like them, may we learn by defeat the power of becoming invincible."
And- in a letter to John she wrote-
"..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 represention."

I think John probably listened to her.
