The verbal formality of the chronologically organized text seems at odds with curious and independent-minded Abigail Adams, who spoke out against the rigidity of her time. Despite the stylized simplicity of Wallner's art, the portraits of Abigail Adams in colonial blues against a muted, stippled pastel background suggest a woman of many moods.
