  1. REMEMBER THE LADIES📜 Abigail Adams (31 March 1776)

    ABIGAIL TO JOHN: "About that revolutionary gov't you boys are cooking up..."

  2. A quotation from Abigail Adams

    I long to hear that you have declared an independancy — and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable 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 perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.

    Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
    Letter (1776-03-31) to John Adams

  5. A quotation from Abigail Adams

    Of all pride, that which persons discover from Riches is the weakest. If we look over our acquaintance, how many do we find who were a few years ago in affluence, now reduced to real want.

  13. Abigail Adams’ 1776 “remember the ladies” letter sits at a turning point in how marriage was understood, as ideas shifted from Enlightenment coverture toward companionate marriage. Historians now read the letter less as a call for suffrage and more as a plea for women’s legal protection within marriage. #History #AbigailAdams #WomensHistory #MarriageHistory #AmericanRevolution 🎧 smithsonianmag.com/podcast/ser

  22. March 31, 1776 - Abigail Adams wrote to her husband, John (later to be the second U.S. president): "I long to hear that you have declared an independancy—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable 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 perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation. That your Sex are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute, but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing one of Friend. Why then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the Lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity.

    Men of Sense in all Ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your Sex. Regard us then as Beings placed by providence under your protection and in immitation of the Supreem Being make use of that power only for our happiness."
