The given excerpt is from the letter that Abigail Adams sent to her husband John Adams while he was working on framing the government of the united States in Philadelphia. In the letter dated November 27, 1775, she talks of how <em>"Man is a dangerous creature, and that power whether vested in many or a few is ever grasping, and like the grave cries give, give"</em>. And like her numerous other letters, she also focus on pleading to her husband to <em>"remember the women"</em>, to be given rights to own property and get equal rights to men, unlike the previous leaders who seem to hold the idea of women as just household workers. This letter is one among hundreds that the husband-wife duo exchanged during their many years of separation, Abigail looking after the family while John worked on getting America free from the British and drafting documents for the constitution of America.
