Women’s roles in politics during the Federalist Era were virtually nonexistent as men did not believe women had the intellect or rights to participate in such an important, essential part of America’s advancements in society. Abigail Adams, John Adams wife, always tried to talk to him about how women are important and how they should have a bigger role in society, but he ignored her. I feel as though Abigail Adams spoke for most women during this era. I hope this helps somehow :)
