Louisa: The Extraordinary Life of Mrs. Adams by Louisa Thomas

4.0

Louisa Johnson Adams was a very interesting woman, born on the cusp of a new age, where the old mores were passing away and new ones were still being navigated. She was Abigail Adams' daughter-in-law and grew up reading Mary Wollstonecraft. She was not the typical shrinking violet of the early 19th century.
