First Lady of President John Adams


Who was Abigail Adams?

Abigail Smith Adams was the wife of John Adams, the second President of the United States, and the mother of John Quincy Adams, the sixth U.S. President. Born on November 11, 1744, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, Abigail was a talented writer and played a significant role in advising her husband during his political career. She is known for her outspoken support of women's rights and for encouraging John to consider the role of women in the newly forming government. During the American Revolution, Abigail managed the family farm and raised her children while John was away serving as a diplomat and later as the first Vice President and President. She continued to correspond with her husband throughout his political career, and their letters offer a glimpse into the personal and political lives of the Adams family during a critical time in American history. Abigail Adams died on October 28, 1818, at the age of 73.
