In his new biography, Holton, a professor of history at the University of Richmond, reveals the second First Lady as an extraordinary woman and fine writer who championed women’s education as well as financial independence for women. Using previously undiscovered documents, Holton constructs a portrait of Adams that reinterprets the more modest figure of earlier histories, showing her as witty, charismatic, and savvy enough to amass a fortune in her own name.
