Answer 2

In the eighteenth century, the vast majority of white women spent their days doing a lot of laborious tasks in and around their residential homes. Females were prohibited from political activities, but as public figures a few females entered the political arena, such as "Mercy Otis Warren" and "Abigail Adams". In an era where women were viewed as being purely domestic, the letter to her husband reflects the boldness and wisdom of Abigail as she encouraged her husband to give more rights to women as he helped shape the new national government. While the Revolution has not brought significant changes to the rights of women as individuals, there is proof of subtle changes in the rights of women in the immediate post-war years.
