Women's History Month Special Lecture on Saturday, March 30 at 1PM

Remembering the Ladies, Abigail Adams and the role of women during the American Revolution. 

Hailed for her now-famous admonition that the Founding Fathers "remember the ladies" in their new laws, Abigail Adams was not only an early advocate for women's rights, she was a vital confidant and advisor to her husband John Adams, the nation's second president. She opposed slavery and supported women's education.
