Remember the Ladies by Jeri Ferris

Abigail Adams lived through the Revolutionary War and became the First Lady of the second president of the United States. Though women of her time could not vote, govern, or own property, Abigail believed that women should not be ruled by laws they did not make. Although she did not see these rights come to women, she never gave up talking, writing, and perhaps most important, believing that women were equal to men. Her courage and strength enabled her to help her husband create a new country. She never fired a gun, but her pen was a weapon that helped win freedom for her country--and herself.

Jeri Chase Ferris is the author of eleven award-winning children's and young adult biographies. She specializes on biographies of women and minorities, people who have accomplished great things but have been forgotten by history. Jeri argues that we all want to be treated equally. Many of the folks I write about have been unfairly handled. My novels help to clear the air.

She currently resides in California. www.jerichaseferris.com is her website.
