Holloway is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive history of the social and domestic lives of the First Ladies of the United States, from Martha Washington through to the time of President Garfield in 1881. It delves into the significant yet often overlooked roles these women played within their households and their contributions to the political and social landscape of their times, making it an essential exploration of American history. At the start of the book, the author introduces the absence of biographical accounts pertaining to the women who held the position of First Lady, emphasizing their influence on the men who occupied the presidency and the administrations they supported. Holloway offers insights into this gap in historical documentation, noting how these ladies often returned to private life, leaving little behind in terms of personal histories. The opening section sets the tone for a detailed exploration to come, where it will recount the lives and experiences of notable First Ladies, beginning with Martha Washington, highlighting their character, social influence, and the domestic challenges they faced in the public eye.
