I enjoyed listening to this account of Abigail Adams' life, based almost entirely on letters that passed between her and her family and friends. She was an interesting woman, ahead of her time on some issues, such as female education and a woman's right to own property, and staunchly conservative on other religious and political topics. This book is chronological, so that it tells the story of her life, how it unfolded including births, marriages, illnesses and deaths and many other adventures and mishaps of her relatives and acquaintances along the way. She was an intelligent and classy lady whom others looked to for wisdom to the very end, and she never hesitated to speak her mind and stand her ground on issues she held dear.
Very detailed biography. Recommended.
