If he abused her, she couldn't leave without abandoning her children. Abigail Adams tried to change this, reminding her husband John to \"remember the ladies\" when he wrote the Constitution. He simply laughed--and women have been fighting for their rights ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFearless Women \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of women who dared to take destiny into their own hands. They were feminists and antifeminists, activists and homemakers, victims of abuse and pathbreaking professionals. Inspired by the nation's ideals and fueled by an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, they wouldn't take no for an answer. They fought for the right to learn, speak in public, vote, lobby the government, and own property. Some were passionate abolitionists. Others fought just to protect their own children. At every step, they faced fierce opposition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElizabeth Cobbs gives voice to fearless women on both sides of the aisle, most of whom considered themselves patriots.
