The Quiz: Who was the first American woman on a U.S. postage stamp?
Amelia Earhart
Martha Washington
Mary Todd Lincoln
Martha Jefferson
In 1902, Martha Washington became the first American woman to appear on a U.S. postage stamp. That year, an 8-cent stamp honored her as the nation’s original First Lady. However, she wasn’t the first woman ever on a U.S. stamp — that honor belongs to Spain’s Queen Isabella, who funded Christopher Columbus’ voyage and appeared on a U.S. stamp in 1893.
The correct answer to this quiz is Martha Washington.
