For anyone interested in women's history during the eighteenth century,
Martha Washington: A Life may be a particularly helpful digital
resource. This exhibit is a joint collaboration between George
Washington's Mount Vernon and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and
New Media at George Mason University. The site is organized into four
sections (Martha's Biography, Teaching Materials, Archive, and
Resources) that tell the story of Martha Dandridge Custis Washington
from her birth in 1731 through her experiences as wife, mother, and
first First Lady of the United States. Her life is presented in detail
through brief essays, pictures of rich archival material, and letters
and other written documents. Through this content, visitors may explore
the various ways in which class and gender affected the experiences of
women in colonial America. General readers may like to start with
Martha's Biography, while educators will appreciate the Teaching
Materials section where they will find teaching modules on sociability,
slavery at Mount Vernon, and the Revolutionary War.
