Abigail Adams and Anne Bradstreet
Dear Anne Bradstreet and Abagail Adams, I'm anxiously awaiting your arrival. I think your visit will be filled with shocking surprises and pleasurable impressions. Behind the boundless differences you will encounter, you'll also meet with your very own American nature. You'll notice that your longing for women's rights and independence has actually been granted (Adams 283). You and other women were unemployed and oppressed, and had no representation (Bradstreet 98, Adams 283). Today, however, most American women are employed and encouraged to contribute their opinions and ideas. In fact, we even earned the right to vote in the nineteenth amendment. You'll find it quite strange seeing me drive freely throughout the city everyday. I'll take you around my town to all the places where women work. You'll find these areas to be no different from the areas where men are employed. Ms. Adams, in your letter to your husband, you ask him "[to] Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than [their] ancestors" (283). You'll realize that women are less domesticated and tyrannized by men today than you and your fellow female friends were (Adams 283). When we go out to dinner, you'll undoubtedly be shocked
As in your times, people today turn to God when they are in despair or even when they are in happiness. Building families during my times differ vastly than forming families the old American way. You'll witness far from perfect families striving to stay together and live successfully, yet survive through the hardships of daily life. Many individuals in my day tend to treasure expensive material possessions rather than the minimum necessities to survive (Bradstreet 101). Throughout your journey, you'll see how the changes in American values have affected their lifestyles, attitudes, and outlooks on life. Abagail, I know your parents carried doubts about your marriage to John Adams due to his lower than your own social and professional standing (282). You and other old American families transferred homes several times in order to achieve better financial breaks and land. You'll notice that women have continued to value this determination as you did to become as successful as any other American man. Likewise families today are constantly relocating homes for better job opportunities and lifestyles. I'll introduce you to one of my closest friends, who has been restricted by her parents from marrying the man of her dreams only because he is not as rich as her family is. Adams, in your letter to John Adams, you display a strong impression of women power and aggressive action.
