Quaker Girl in Washington: The Influence of Dolley Madison
The wife of President James Madison, Dolley was a Quaker child who transformed into one of America’s most powerful First Ladies. Discover how this patriot used her charm, wit, and resourcefulness to unite our country and influence it socially and politically.
The centerpiece of Washington’s high society, Dolley stepped softly outside of its social norms to establish new standards of decorum, introduce women into the politics of the day, and earn the respect of the military and civilian populations. Come learn the extraordinary story behind the life of one of America’s lesser known yet influential First Ladies. The elegant Mrs. Madison was, by the way, a snuff aficionado!
Janet Parnes of Historical Portrayals by Lady J will portray Mrs. Madison.
Free of charge.
No registration required.
