I believe its a reference to Martha of the Bible.

I agree that it is a reference to Martha in the Martha and Mary story in the bible.

Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed, or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Martha was the do-er. She wanted to take care of Jesus by cooking and cleaning for him. The Marthas in the book/movie were do-gooders. They did good deeds for others.

It was a group of girls who do Martha Stewart type things, in the book they decorate and organize school events. One in the book is decorating the teacher's lounge during teacher appreciation week.
