    		Martha, per the site, was the first AMERICAN woman on a US postage stamp -- the first woman was Queen Isabella on several stamps for the Columbian Exposition in 1893.

    The first woman on a stamp for one of the United States was on a Hawaiian stamp of 1886 depicting Princess Victoria Kamamalu (Scott number 30).

    		The acknowledged world's first adhesive postage stamp is the 'Penny Black', issued by Great Britain in 1840. It depicts Queen Victoria.
