ExclusiveMartha Washington: Lady Washington

When George Washington became President of the United States in 1789, his new role was completely groundbreaking, so he had to trailblaze. Meanwhile, the role for the president’s wife was completely undefined, so Martha Washington set all precedents as helpmate and hostess for leader of the free world. Before the White House, Washington D.C., or even the title of first lady, Lady Washington was the ever-dignified example of sacrificing self for the good of one’s country.
