In 1776, First Lady Abigael Adams wrote to her husband, John Adams to "remember the ladies" while drafting the new " Code of Laws" for the Nation. Adam was also looking forward to publishing his "Thoughts on Government" essay that proposed a political philosophy and the new nation structure.
Abigael asked Adam to draft laws that would be " generous and favourable" to women.
Adam failed to make women rights a priority and it was not until 1919 when Congress changed the constitution to incorporate women rights to vote.
