For those who have ever wondered what George would have been without Martha, and how Martha would have fared without George, this book provides the answer and much else besides. With her usual flair and grace, Fraser proves the old adage that no man is an island, particularly when it comes to achieving great success.
-Amanda Foreman, author of "A World on Fire"
In this charmingly insightful dual biography, Flora Fraser makes a compelling case that America s first First Couple was its first power couple. Martha Washington here emerges from her husband s historical shadow to reclaim the place she occupied in life as his indispensable collaborator in war and peace. An important story delightfully told.

Praise for Flora Fraser s
THE WASHINGTONS
Impressive and highly readable . . . Flora Fraser has added an absorbing portrayal of George and Martha Washington and their extended family to the catalog of books on early American icons.
-"The Missourian"
An accomplished biographer who writes with great ease and wit.
-"New York Times Book Review"
Smartly written and devoid of gossip and cant . . . a searing look into the private lives of very public men and women.
-"Boston Globe"
In The Washingtons, an ambitious, well-researched and highly readable dual biography, Flora Fraser has worked hard, despite the limited documentation that is available, to portray George and Martha, and their extended family, as fully rounded, flesh-and-blood people . . . she has brought the elusive Martha into as clear a focus as we are ever likely to have.
-Fergus M. Bordewich, "The Wall Street Journal"
Fresh and highly informative . . . graceful, incisive.
-Brad Hooper, "Booklist" (Starred Review)
In "TheWashingtons," Flora Fraser has provided an insightful portrait in elegant prose with a dash of wit. The book is based on a mastery of the original sources and brings to life, with much imagination, a wonderful marriage in a period of revolution and war. It is written with a light touch, but is a serious account in every respect. This is a book worthy of its subject.
