Mary Walker, American Cross-Dresser and Physician
Mary Edwards Walker (1832-1919) was an American feminist, abolitionist, prohibitionist, alleged spy, prisoner of war and surgeon. Prior to the American Civil War she earned her medical degree, married and started a medical practice. The practice didn't do well and she volunteered with the Union Army at the outbreak of the American Civil War and served as a surgeon. She was captured by Confederate forces after crossing enemy lines to treat wounded civilians and arrested as a spy. She was sent as a prisoner of war to Richmond, Virginia until released in a prisoner exchange. After the war she was approved for the highest United States Armed Forces decoration for bravery, the Medal of Honour, for her efforts during the Civil War. She is the only woman to receive the medal. She was frequently arrested for wearing masculine styled clothing and insisted on her right to wear clothing that she thought appropriate. Photographed by JC.M. Bell.
