editI started this page as a separate article from Give Me Liberty because the character Martha Washington goes on to appear in other books as well. However, I know nothing about this character or these books aside from what I've read here on Wikipedia, and so I hope that someone else will step up and fill in the other details. --- Godheval 08:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Martha Washington Dies [Possible spoiler --- Beware ---]
editFor those who have this one, you might recognize the place in which she gives her final speech: The ruins of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City.
I suspect the city is New York City based on the image on the ruins of the Empire State Building in the chapter and the mention by Venus, the AI character, that Manhattan was destroyed by a nuclear weapon when the Dictator of the Ultracapitalist Dictatorship detonated the bomb when members of that faction tried to overthrow him/her.

Martha Washington Dies [Miller's islamophobia]
editI thought it was pretty clear (at least from my reading of the comic) that the "barbaric hordes" surrounding Martha's position were islamic folks, hell-bent on destroying western civilisation? Millar chooses to ignore, as usual, that most of classical western culture (for instance greek + roman science and medicine) would not have survived the medieval papist book burnings, were it not for the fact that the islamic cultures thought these works not only worthy of preservation and study, but extrapolation and improvement. Any science or maths student knows how widespread are arabic origins for scientific terms. Alcohol, algebra, etc. etc. Too bad too, Martha was a rockin comic before Miller got the W bug. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.208.77.97 (talk) 23:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
In the chapter Martha Washington Dies, the barbarians who won their awful victory are not shown or described. The only characters shown are the allies of Martha Washington. [1] Geraldshields11 (talk) 14:46, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
