　　Mary Walker: A Century Ahead of Her Time

　　Dr. M. Edwards Walker was one of the bravest army surgeons during the American Civil War. In addition to working

　　on the frontlines of the Union Army from 1863 to 1865, Walker was also a Union 1 spy. Who relayed Confederate

　　secrets across enemy lines while treating civilians in the South. Walker was even captured by Confederate troops and

　　held as a prisoner of war for four months, until eventually being released—along with two dozen other Union doctors—in

　　exchange for seventeen Confederate surgeons. But what makes Dr. Walker’s story perhaps even more remarkable is

　　that, unlike the other Army surgeons during the Civil War, Dr. Walker was a woman.

　　Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was born on November 26, 1832, in the town of Oswego, New York. Her father, a country

　　doctor, was an active participant in many of the social reform movements of the mid-1800s; he encouraged all five of his

　　daughters to pursue their education in spite of heavy social pressures and 2 prejudices against them. Mary, the

　　youngest of the daughters, followed her father’s advice the most intently, becoming the second woman to receive a

　　medical doctorate in the United States in 1855 at the young age of 21. 3

　　In recognition of her service to the Union Army during the Civil War, Walker was awarded the Medal of Honor in

　　1865. She was the first and only woman ever to receive the United States Army’s highest military honor. While her

　　medal, along with the medals of 910 others, 4 were unfortunately taken away when Congress revised the Medal of

　　Honor standards in 1917, an Army Board eventually reinstated Walker’s award posthumously, 5 reciting her

　　“distinguished gallantry, self-sacrifice, patriotism, dedication; and unflinching loyalty to her country, despite the apparent

　　discrimination because of her sex.”

　　6 To say that Mary Walker was born ahead of her time would be a vast understatement. From an early age, Walker

　　refused to wear the long heavy skirts and corsets that were traditionally designated for women 7 yet would instead wear

　　a dress and trouser combination called the ‘Bloomer costume’ that provided for greater mobility. In 1866, Walker was

　　even elected president of the National Dress Reform Association, and prided herself in being arrested numerous times

　　for wearing full male attire, including 8 a winged-collar; bow-tie; and, top hat. Towards the end of her life, Walker went

　　on to become involved in a number of other progressive movements in the United States, including the suffragette

　　movement and the temperance movement. 9 Interestingly, though, while Walker was an outspoken proponent of the woman’s suffrage movement, she did not support the Nineteenth Amendment and instead argued that a woman’s right

　　to vote was already contained in the United States Constitution.

　　Though she was unaware of it at the time, Mary Edwards Walker was at the forefront of a monumental shift in the

　　role of women in medicine. 10 Walker was not only a trailblazer in the medical 11 field, she was also a relentless

　　visionary who bravely challenged many of the social prejudices of her day, and contributed as much to advancing

　　gender equality in the United States as she did to healing injured soldiers during the Civil War.
