Martha Washington(ISBN=) 英文原版

Pat Brady rectifies history’s omission in this informative and
entertaining biography of the first First Lady. — Cokie
Roberts, author of Founding Mothers

Splendid… a compelling new portrait of a woman and her time. —
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

With this revelatory and painstakingly researched book, Martha
Washington, the invisible woman of American history, at last gets
the biography she deserves. In place of the domestic frump of
popular imagination, Patricia Brady resurrects the wealthy,
attractive, and vivacious young widow who captivated the youthful
George Washington. Here are the able landowner, the indomitable
patriot (who faithfully joined her husband each winter at Valley
Forge), and the shrewd diplomat and emotional mainstay. And even as
it brings Martha Washington into sharper and more accurate focus,
this sterling life sheds light on her marriage, her society, and
the precedents she established for future First Ladies.

Patricia Brady has a Ph.D. in history from
Tulane University and served for twenty years as director of
publications at the Historic New Orleans Collection. Her previous
books include George Washington’s Beautiful Nell. She is the
recipient of a Mellon fellowship.
