Abigail comes off as a very strong and motivated woman in these letters.  With each response back from John Adams, she seems to become even more determined.  I personally enjoy the exchange between him and her where they refer to each other as "saucy". - Matt

I loved reading these letters. They were very proper for the time period and at the same time you can see that they real do care for one another.  John and Abigail really seem to genuinely care for one another and show they are not only strong individually but as a couple. –Kayle P

I've always liked Abigail Adams- she was far ahead of her time in her expectations for the treatment of women, and not afraid to be an activist. I had thought of her as being very unusual and I suppose she was, but some of the other readings, like the letter by Eliza Wilkinson, hint at a bit more egalitarianism than I had imagined. -Rebecca W.

I enjoyed reading the letters sent between Abigail Adams and her husband. I think she knew it was a lost cause asking her husband to “remember the Ladies”, but her argument was a very good one. Her approach and her diction were very well thought out: “Give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing one of Friend.” Her Husband’s response to this was probably expected though no less disappointing; “I cannot but laugh.” -- Emma C.
