A review by leilatre
Abigail Adams by Woody Holton

4.0

I listened to this audiobook. It was an interesting contrast to Alexander Hamilton's biography. Abigail Adams was an early feminist in many important ways (voting rights and property ownership in particular), but held many of the traditional views of the day as well. Looking at her life now she seems like an enigma, but maybe at the time her brand of feminism was not that unusual. I really enjoyed finally getting some insight into one of the revolutionary era women.
