and diplomatic wife of James Madison. Known for her signature hospitality, Dolley served as both Thomas Jefferson's and James Madison's official hostess during their respective
presidential terms.

Her wit, charm, and popularity made her a trend setter. She experimented with fashion, served ice cream at the
White House and hosted children's events. She's credited with introducing the Easter Egg roll at the White House.
