Profile
Born in New York City on June 30, 1768, Elizabeth Kortright married James Monroe in 1786. Political duties took the couple to Paris, where Elizabeth was popular for her charm, beauty and flair for fashion. While there, she also arranged for the release of the wife of war hero Lafayette. However, Monroe's aloof manners did not impress Washington society during her years as First Lady (1817–1825).© 2012 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.
