Before It Became History | Martha Washington: America's First First Lady

Long before the title "First Lady" existed, Martha Washington helped define what public service could look like. Discover how her leadership, resilience, and dedication supported the nation's first president and the young republic.

Before It Became History, a podcast series from the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, explores the people and moments that shaped the American story. Each episode looks beyond the legend to examine the decisions, conflicts, and ideas that tested the promise of liberty and helped define our democracy.

This is history before it hardened into memory — and a conversation about what it means for us now.
