Cartão Dolley Madison "first" First Lady

Telling Herstory: Dolley Madison - Dolley influenced the role of the President’s wife well into the twentieth century. She advised those following her and was a role model for many more. Having known the founding fathers and being a part of the development of the nation, she was a source of much recollection and memorabilia that contribute to our knowledge of that period of time. Upon her death, legend has it, incumbent President Zachary Taylor eulogized her as "First Lady," perhaps thus being the first known use of the title in connection with a President's wife.
