Mary Edwards Walker was the daughter of a freethinking New York farmer and abolitionist who at an early age became determined to live life on her own terms, shunning women's fashions, wearing men's clothing, and eventually becoming a medical doctor in an era where women couldn't even vote. Her pursuits would take her to the forefront of battles during the Civil War and her story deserves a place on any advanced elementary-level bookshelf where women's biographies and history are featured.

Interesting and informative biography!,
This review is from: Civil War Doctor: The Story of Mary Walker (Social Critics and Reformers) (Library Binding)
This biography highlights Mary Walker's lifetime dream to become a doctor when women weren't even allowed to vote yet! Historical background fills this intriguing look at Mary Walker's life and really places the reader in her time. Readers will enjoy a look back in time to see what women wore, what was going on in the world, and just what Mary Walker had to deal with in her lifetime. An interesting biography about an amazing woman!
