Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.

—ABIGAIL ADAMS

The Feminine

Is not Dead

Nor is she

Sleeping

Angry, yes,

Seething, yes.

Biding her time;

Yes.

Yes.
