○ then that little man in black there, he says women cant have as much rights as men, cause christ wasnt a woman! where did your christ come from?
○ nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! and aint i a woman?
○ if the first woman god ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! and now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
○ look at me! look at my arm! i have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! and aint i a woman? i could work as much and eat as much as a man - when i could get it - and bear the lash well!
Abigail Adams' core argument is that women will resist being bound by laws they had no voice or role in creating, centered on the lack of representation and the demand for equal consideration. The correct excerpt aligns with this by asserting women's collective power to demand change and push back against unjust control by men, mirroring her threat of rebellion against unrepresentative laws.
