12. Remember the Ladies…
July
3,
1776
“I long to hear that you have
declared an independency. And,
by the way, in the new code of
laws which I suppose it will be
necessary for you to make, I
desire you would remember
the ladies and be more
generous and favorable to them
than your ancestors. 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.”
In
a
le:er
dated
March
31,
1776,
Abigail
Adams
writes
to
her
husband,
John
Adams,
urging
him
and
the
other
members
of
the
Con4nental
Congress
not
to
forget
about
the
na4on's
women
when
figh4ng
for
America's
independence
from
Great
Britain.
Inspira5on
from
DC
in
1776

13. Not
like
the
brazen
giant
of
Greek
fame,
With
conquering
limbs
astride
from
land
to
land;
Here
at
our
sea-­‐washed,
sunset
gates
shall
stand
A
mighty
woman
with
a
torch,
whose
flame
Is
the
imprisoned
lightning,
and
her
name
Mother
of
Exiles.
From
her
beacon-­‐hand
Glows
world-­‐wide
welcome;
her
mild
eyes
command
The
air-­‐bridged
harbor
that
twin
ci&es
frame.
"Keep
ancient
lands,
your
storied
pomp!"
cries
she
With
silent
lips.
"Give
me
your
&red,
your
poor,
Your
huddled
masses
yearning
to
breathe
free,
The
wretched
refuse
of
your
teeming
shore.
Send
these,
the
homeless,
tempest-­‐tost
to
me,
I
liY
my
lamp
beside
the
golden
door!"
Inspira5on
from
NYC
in
1886
