"Draws on more than two thousand letters of Abigail's spanning from the 1760s to her death in 1818, interweaving Abigail's colorful correspondence--some of which has not appeared in print before--with a contextual narrative.

She was an advocate for education for women, a shrewd businesswoman, and had an unrivaled political acumen."--Publisher description.
