In the excerpt ,we can read that Adams is demanding for a better role of women in society when she says “In the new Code of Laws…Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them, than your ancestors.” Adams is considered a rebellion in case this won’t happen when she says “…We are determined to foment a (Rebellion), and we will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or Representation.”  

That is why the statement that best describes Abigail Adam’s view on the role of women in society is “Adams believed that women had traditionally been denied a voice in society’s affairs and that this should change.
