Martha Jefferson: An Intimate Life with Thomas Jefferson

Martha Jefferson is the first and only biography of Thomas Jefferson’s wife, who died at the young age of 33 in 1782. Drawing on a wealth of new sources, law professor William G. Hyland, Jr., discusses this little-known figure who presided over the domestic life of the Monticello during her husband’s long absences and rise to power.
