Stamps

America's first First Lady also became the first woman to be commemorated on a U.S. postage stamp. But not until long after her death. In 1901, Martha Washington appeared on the 8-cent stamp. She was pictured on the 2-cent prepaid postcard in 1918, on the 4-cent stamp in 1920 and on the 1-1/2-cent stamp in 1938.
