Abstract:
Summary: Mary Edwards Walker was a Civil War surgeon, a spy captured by the Confederacy, and the only woman to have ever been awarded the Medal of Honor. But she was erased from history, in part because her ideas didn't fit with the mainstream suffrage movement. Latta introduces readers to Walker's remarkable life and accomplishments. She shows how Walker continued to break gender norms and speak out about women's rights, social justice, and access to healthcare for her entire life. -- adapted from front flap
