Description
In this vivid new biography of the most illustrious woman of America's founding era prize-winning historian Woody Holton offers a sweeping reinterpretation of Abigail Adams' life story and of women's roles in the creation of the republic. Using previously overlooked documents from a host of archives Holton shows that the wife of the second president of the United States was far more charismatic and influential than historians have realized.
