Mary Randolph (1762- 1828) wrote The Virginia House-Wife (1824),
one of the most influential housekeeping and cookbooks of the
nineteenth century. Randolph tried to improve women's lives by
limiting the time they had to spend in their kitchens. She gave her
readers many inexpensive ingredients that could be used to make
impressive meals. She popularized over 40 vegetables and introduced
several foreign meals. She was the first recorded person to be
buried at what became Arlington National Cemetery.
