Abigail Adams is one of the most infamous first ladies in American history. She is known for her sharp tongue and her partnership with "dear friend" John Adams. Supporter of education for women, opposed to slavery and unafraid to share her thoughts, Abigail was definitely a feminist of the moment.
But did you know she also was a business owner? Tune in this week as I cover some of the more interesting tidbits of our second first lady, Abigail Smith Adams.

Join me this week as I interview presidential historian and award winning author, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky.
Dr. Chervinsky wrote The Cabinet: George Washington and The Creation of An American Institution where provides thoughtful analysis and tells the story of how and why Washington created the first presidential advisory council and why it was so revolutionary.
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Chervinsky about her book, why she chose this topic to explore and what students can learn from studying the make up and success of a presidential cabinet.
You can learn more about this episode, including more details about where to find Dr. Chervinsky at my website www.civicsandcoffee.com

Hey Peeps!
Welcome to a special BONUS episode of the pod! I had the opportunity to chat with Peter and Sam from the epic podcast, Two Songs One Couple, and we decided to do a crossover event for the masses.
Our crossover is a blend of both of our shows - a little bit of rock and roll, a little bit of history. Peter and Sam have part one - so go listen to it now so you have the context and know just exactly how this came to be.
This episode is part two! Picking up where our conversation left off. Please go follow Two Songs One Couple and listen to them wherever you get your podcasts!
