Martha Washington is commonly thought of as rather frumpy, and, while with the Continental Army, as a woman who spent time visiting soldiers and knitting stockings and mittens for the men.

But the truth about Lady Washington is far more interesting. This woman was a spiffy dresser, assertive, and definitely a woman of independent means. And this is a woman who followed her man. Martha Washington’s varied activities at the encampments of the Revolutionary War may surprise you. In fact, by learning about Martha Washington and what she did at the Valley Forge winter encampment, you may develop a totally different picture of that famous winter of 1777-1778.
