Women's Attempt for Independence in a Man's world

As the first Europeans to cross the Atlantic into a New World, they brought with them conventions about family life that endured long after their migration. Their children then inherited these beliefs and continued to practice in what they believed to be the appropriate role of each family member. In 1776, in what was considered to be the family of the New World, these roles and expectations of what a father, a mother, a husband, a wife, and children should be and do were much like those of their ancestors. Within these conventions, women had only one role in society, which was to be a constant caretaker. Many women, although agreeing their most important role was to be a wife and mother, sought the right to exemplify what it meant to be an independent American woman.

Although not anticipated to be more than an exclusive observer and devotee of her husband’s public career, Abigail Adams was one of the first women to seek glorification of the revolutionary era of women. At that time the only political existence wives and daughters experienced was through their relations with men. Abigail sought to break the barrier of women simply standing outside of the political process.
