Mary Edwards Walker
Mary Edwards Walker was the second woman to earn her Medical degree in 1855. She tolerated much prejudice, yet was elected as a Vice President of the National Dress Reform Association in 1860. During the American Civil War, she broke through barriers to show what women could do. Forced to work as a nurse, she volunteered at many military hospitals, and was even arrested by the Confederate Army, accused of being a spy. Despite that she later worked as a surgeon, and ran an orphanage and continued to defy the conventions of the time to fight for women’s rights. She did so in unusual ways, including dressing as a man, in order to gain access to their meetings.
