Their accomplishments played a vital role in the fledgling nation. One such woman is Abigail Adams. While we can never have a direct conversation with this remarkable woman, we are fortunate that she wrote thousands upon thousands of letters to various correspondents, including over 1,100 letters to her husband while they lived apart in his service to the nation. One of Mrs. Adams' letters is our focus today as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of its writing. This letter is sometimes referred to as her \"Remember the Ladies\" letter written on March 31, 1776 to her husband, John Adams, and she implored Congress to \"remember the ladies\" in crafting laws for the new country. To lead this discussion, we are honored to welcome Dr. Diana Carlin, Professor Emerita of Communication at Saint Louis University and president of the First Ladies Association for Research and Education (FLARE).","meta_description":"The women who contributed to the founding of our country are often overlooked.
