I guess I can describe
myself as a feminist. I strongly believe that women should have the same
opportunities and rights just as men. It is very insulting for me as a woman
when they describe women as a lower statue. It was very inspiring and exciting
to read how Abigail Adams wrote to her husband about establishing gender
relations. It was not mentioned hardly at all in the book, but women were a
large part of the Revolutionary war. I think they deserve to be recognized and
acknowledge for the part they played in the war. They took upon the roles of
the men while they were fighting, supported them, and cared for them too. What
would the men do without the women? The women always step up to fulfill men’s roles,
just like World War One, how they took over and did men’s jobs. I think over
time women continue to show the men why they deserve equality over and over
again.
It
is impressive to read how the women tried to have the same rights as men, by
disguising themselves as men so they can fight as well. How they would follow
the troops cooking, and nursing their wounds, for every man. I just don’t
understand why the new nation would not give a permanent gain for the
women. During certain eras there were
strong woman figures such as Joan of Arc in the period of the Middle Ages,
Harriet Tubman from the civil war era, and many more. I thing Abigail Adams is
one of the powerful woman figures during the Revolutionary war. She showed the intelligence that women had and stood up to the men to say we deserve gender
equality. It was shocking and funny to read how she wrote a threat to her
husband, John Adams, how the women are determined to start a rebellion if there
is no equality. She wanted to fight for equality and she was not afraid to. I
consider her on of the first American women to fight for women equality in
America; she is motivation to keep fighting for equality for woman.
