As part of the Abraham Lincoln bicentennial in 2009 and in connection with WILL-TV’s documentary Lincoln: Prelude to the Presidency, we’ve created a series of segments exploring how Lincoln’s years workings as a traveling lawyer in central Illinois helped make him one of our nation’s greatest presidents. In tonight’s segment, we look at Lincoln’s opinions about women and how his years in Illinois affected his feelings about women’s rights and the role of women on the frontier.
