- Summary:
- Mary Edwards Walker, one of the first female doctors in America and the only woman to win the Medal of Honor, served in the military during the Civil War despite relentless efforts to stop her. This independent firebrand had other ideas. Mary followed her own path with tenacity, courage and an extremely modern sense of how to be a woman. For starters, she wore pants to her wedding and deleted the word "obey" from her vows. (In the 19th century!) Dee Johnson tells us the charming and crucial story of this original American patriot, a "pants girl" and a true inspiration.
