Read the quotation from Abigail Adams. It is from a letter she wrote her husband, John Adams, as he helped draft the US Constitution. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.Which excerpt from "Ain't I a Woman?" best supports Adams’s view?
A
Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ’cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from?B

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.D
