| Description | The early First Ladies developed different approaches to creating an American style. They understood that clothes are not only a fashion statement, but also reflect levels of status and power while conveying a strong political message. Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, and Dolley Madison all worked to create the role of First Lady with dignity and authority without acting like a Queen. |
