At noon on Thursday, 3 December 2009, Professor Woody Holton, of the University of Richmond, will speak at the Library of Virginia about his new biography of Abigail Adams, who I think was the most interesting and possibly the most influential American woman in the generation of people who lived through the American Revolution. There is free underground parking at the Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
