In the letter shown, Abigail Adams refers to the new government being created for the United States, and she MOST LIKELY favors "giving women the right to vote." This is evident in the letter where she stated that "We will not live by any laws in which we have no voice or representation."
John Adams (1735-1826) and Abigail Smith Adams (1744-1818) exchanged over 1,100 letters, beginning during their courtship in 1762 and continuing throughout John's political career (until 1801).
—I long to hear that you have declared an independancy—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands.
Abigail Adams wrote her most celebrated letter in the spring of 1776 to husband John, then attending the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. In this letter, Abigail urges John to "Remember the ladies" and protect women's rights in the new American government.
On March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams implored her husband John to "Remember the Ladies" when it came time to create a set of laws for an independent United States.
She was also an early advocate for women's rights, including access to education. In this letter, Abigail urged her husband—then, serving in the First Continental Congress—to “remember the ladies.” She added, “Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could."
Her words urged him and the other members of the Continental Congress to consider the rights of women while laying the framework for the new, independent nation. Abigail Adams was an advocate for greater political rights for women, especially in regards to divorce and property ownership.
Abigail Adams was one of the first advocates of women's equal education and women's property rights. Adams had strong feelings about marriage and believed women should take more part in decisions rather than simply serve their husbands.
For date ranges, use “space-dash-space” formatting: “June – August 2017” not “June-August 2017”. Be sure that same style of dash (shorter hyphen or slightly longer en-dash) is used consistently throughout. Align dates on the right margin.
For example, if you were to write a formal business letter, you'd write out the entire date, including the full month. In British English, you could write the date as 6th September 2019. In American English, you could use September 6, 2019.
