Great answer!! I didn't think anyone would get that one.
I read a book about her. In the very early 1800's, I think Washington D.C. was kind of a hellhole. The senators and congressmen would just rent a room in a boarding house and there was no social life. Dolley Madison tried to get Jefferson to have social gatherings once a week (levees, she called them) and she was successful.
In short, she helped make our early government work better. I also heard she was a very nice person.
Again, great answer!
