Lecture: Abigail Adams: A Life 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Join Award-winning historian Woody Holton as he premiers his latest work, Abigail Adams: A Life. Holton pulls back the curtain on a heretofore unseen Abigail Adams in this insightful, comprehensive, and surprising new portrait of America`s second First Lady. Holton, a 2007 finalist for the National Book Award, reveals for the first time that Adams did not merely write about womens rights, she fought for them - in the public eye and in her own home. As he corrects many misconceptions surrounding her life and legacy, Holton reveals a woman even more resourceful, influential, and charismatic than previously depicted.
