Abigail Adamsová, celým jménem Abigail Smith Adams, byla manželka druhého amerického prezidenta Johna Adamse a první dáma USA od 4. března 1797 do 4. března 1801. Jedna ze dvou žen, které byly jak manželkou, tak matkou amerického prezidenta.

Abigail Adamová je jednou z nejvíce dokumentovaných prvních dam. Je to pravděpodobně díky dopisům, které psala svému manželovi, Johnu Adamsovi, zatímco on zůstával ve Filadelfii během kontinentálních kongresů. John často žádal v dopisech Abigail o pomoc a v dopisech s ní vedl mnoho intelektuálních diskusí o vládě i politice, což poukazuje i na vzdělanost a inteligenci Abigail. Wikipedia

Letter to John Adams (30 June 1778)

“It is really mortifying, sir, when a woman possessed of a common share of understanding considers the difference of education between the male and female sex, even in those families where education is attended to… Nay why should your sex wish for such a disparity in those whom they one day intend for companions and associates. Pardon me, sir, if I cannot help sometimes suspecting that this neglect arises in some measure from an ungenerous jealousy of rivals near the throne.”

Letter to John Thaxter (15 February 1778)

“These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or in the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by the scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.”
