title: Martha Bowling: Drawing the Future
author: Kiersten Hackman
description: Kiersten Hackman lives with her family in North Carolina. Just like Martha Bowling, she loves to read and draw. However, she is thankful she does not live in the 1770s because she would hate to wear a dress everyday.

  _To all of the mothers who dutifully slaved over the hot stove for us, when
