Inhalt:

"My tongue was sharper than yours," snapped Abigail Adams. "Not when I was scolding Mr. Lincoln," retorted Mary Todd Lincoln. More than a sharp tongue united these two remarkable American First Ladies, who partnered their president-husbands through the troubled days of two wars that set the course of our country as we know it today. Both Abigail Adams and Mary Todd Lincoln were products of their geography and the times in which they lived. Their love stories and significant contributions to our country are illuminated in episodes that amuse and inform, as they emerge from shadowy history into real life. If you can imagine Abigail Adams scolding sober President John Adams because he had neglected to milk the cows, and Mary, getting as good as she gave when President Abraham Lincoln rebuked her harshly for spending eleven hundred dollars on a set of dishes, then this book is for you.
