Résumé
A brief, informal look at the life of elite southern women in eighteenth century America, including a look at: (1) courtship and marriage, (2) slavery, (3) fashion, (4) food, (5) travel, and (6) amusements. Have you ever fallen madly in love with a pair of shoes? Luxury footwear, combining the art form of a sculpture with the beauty of a piece of sparkling jewelry, has obsessed women for centuries.
Certainly this was true in the case with Martha Washington. We don't generally think of Martha Washington as a vivacious fashionista. She has come down to us after two hundred plus years as a frumpy, dumpy, plump, double-chinned Old Mother Hubbard type. Both George and Martha Washington were transformed by generations of historians into marble figures of rectitude whose dignity and decorum fostered a sense of legitimacy for the new country.
But neither Martha Washington nor the women of the South's leading families were marble statues, they had the same strengths and weaknesses, passions and problems, joys and sorrows, as the women of any age. So just how did they live?
