- **Event Description**: PROGRAM

In her many letters to her husband and friends Abigail Adams expressed the concerns  and accomplishments of an early American patriotic woman. Her most famous request was for Congress to “Remember the ladies” in the creation of the Constitution of the United States. It was her clear understanding that women’s influences in the domestic sphere were as integral to the development of a new nation as the more public efforts  of the founding fathers. Family economics, children’s education and civic responsibility, are the primary concerns of Abigail Adams. Her requests for legislation to benefit future generations included the necessity of education for all children regardless of sex or color, as well as the right to self-determination for all individuals including the emancipation  of slaves and granting wives equal status  under the law. An understanding of her hopes  for posterity beg the question: If the founding fathers would have heeded Mrs. Adams advice sooner, would the nation have been  spared years of strife from Civil War to civil  rights? A conversation with “Dear Abigail,” 18th century wife and mother provides insight into the concerns of today’s Americans.
