Bookroo's summary

Abigail Adams defies expectations at every turn. Marrying a poor lawyer, managing a farm during war, and demanding women's voices be heard, she challenges the status quo. As First Lady, she becomes a powerful advisor, crossing oceans and confronting royalty. How did this extraordinary woman surprise the world and influence a young nation? Discover the untold story of a founding mother who refused to be silent.

From the publisher

In this inspiring tribute, award-winning author Barb Rosenstock and New York Times bestselling artist Elizabeth Baddeley tell the true story of one of America’s greatest founding mothers: Abigail Adams. Everyone knew Abigail was different. Instead of keeping quiet, she blurted out questions. Instead of settling down with a wealthy minister, she married a poor country lawyer named John Adams. Instead of running from the Revolutionary War, she managed a farm and fed hungry soldiers. Instead of leaving the governing to men, she insisted they Remember the Ladies. Instead of fearing Europe’s kings and queens, she boldly crossed the sea to represent her new country. And when John become President of the United States, Abigail became First Lady, and a powerful advisor. Leave it to Abigail–an extraordinary woman who surprised the world.
