In a family where six successive generations of Quincy men held prominent public roles in the civic life of Boston and New England, the women in the family have long been overshadowed. But in reality it is because of them that we know as much as we do about their husbands, fathers, and brothers. When we shine a light on the lives of the Quincy wives and daughters—cousins of Abigail Adams’s—we learn about the role that intelligent, articulate, and engaged women played in the political and cultural life of the region. Led by Nancy Carlisle, the Senior Curator of Collections at Historic New England where she has worked for more than thirty years. She is the author of the award-winning book Cherished Possessions: A New England Legacy and the co-author of America’s Kitchens.
