Dolley Madison was one of the most important women of her time in the social circles of America. Born in a strict disciplinarian Quaker family as Dolley Payne, she was one of the eight children in the family. Ever since a young age, she was known for her stunning good looks, gracious mannerism and happy personality. Due to this, she gained a lot of attention in the society.

The early tragedies in her life did not hamper as she eventually got married to James Madison who went on to first serve as the Secretary of State under Jefferson’s Presidency and later as the President of United States. During her time at the White House, she was noted for her social gifts, which boosted her husband’s popularity as President, thus making her the first First Lady to play a dominant and defining role.

She established the idea that the First Lady should serve as the Mother of the Nation, a notion which she believed into and worked upon till date. She served as hostess of the White House by hosting social functions and establishing the chief role of the First Lady. However, in the aftermath of her husband Madison’s death, she lived a life of poverty which was partially relieved by the sale of her late husband’s papers.
