Day 3 of Inktober - Women I Admire - Mary Edwards Walker

 Day 3 of my series of 31 women I admire is Mary Edwards Walker.

Just over 3500 people have won the Medal of Honor, and only ONE of them is a woman. One? Serious? Anyway...Mary Edwards Walker was an  abolitionist, prohibitionist, prisoner of war and surgeon. Two years before she died, the Army removed her name from the MOH list, but reinstated it in 1977. She put up with a lot of shit because she refused to wear stereotypical women’s outfits. She would go into enemy territory and care for the wounded when nobody had the balls to do it.
