WOMEN’S BIOGRAPHIES ARE VERY POPULAR Our three top-selling TFKbiographies are all about women. Abigail Adams will surely followin the footsteps of Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Clara Barton. ATRUE VISIONARY Abigail Adams was years ahead of her time in heropinions about women’s rights and slavery. Her revolutionary way ofthinking helped mold her husband John Adam’s ideas--and so too ourhistory. She is best known for her March 1776 letter to John Adamsand the Continental Congress, requesting that they “...remember theladies.” APPEAL FOR GIRLS This book will appeal to girls, as wellas boys, as it shows a very strong and influential female in a timewhen women were not regarded for their minds.
