Read the excerpt from The Mother of America:
Martha Washington's promotion of democratic values as America's original first lady also proved her worthy of the name "Mother of America." She realized that the way she treated the role of first lady would set precedents for future women. Martha had to figure out how to create an atmosphere that reflected democracy and commanded respect from the rest of the world. To accomplish this, she held a reception once a week where different people could enjoy refreshments and exchange ideas. Unlike other events, Martha's reception was representative of democracy, as it was open to different groups of people, including both men and women. Overwhelming respect for Martha led to others calling her "Lady Washington." Despite praise for her work, Martha disliked the restrictions put on her as the first lady and missed her son. In spite of these concerns, Martha did her duty and remained to support the president and her country. Her role in defining America's first lady—the figurative "Mother of America"—was invaluable.
Indeed, Martha Washington's roles as first lady and general's wife revealed her nurturing nature and her promotion of democratic values, making her a prime candidate for the honorable title "Mother of America."
