Thought I would pass along this tidbit I came
across.
WHO WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO BE COMMEMORATED
ON A U.S. POSTAGE STAMP? It was the wife of the first president and did not happen until the twentieth century. In 1901, Martha Washington was commemorated a the 8-cent stamp. In 1918, she was pictured on the 2-cent prepaid postcard; in 1920, on the 4-cent stamp; and in 1938 on the 1.5-cent stamp. |
