Abigail Adams by Woody Holton (Paperback)

Abigail Adams is a Bancroft Prize winning biography by historian Woody Holton. Drawing on her many letters, it presents the wife of John Adams as a sharp thinker, savvy investor and early advocate for women's rights, far more than a supporting figure in the founding of the United States. Rich, readable American history. Paperback from Free Press, an imprint of Simon and Schuster.
