They see a need, recognize an opportunity to serve, and step forward with courage and determination. Their lives become signposts, pointing future generations toward what is possible. In today's episode, we'll meet a woman who did exactly that. During a time when women faced enormous barriers in professional life, she became a physician, served on the front lines of the American Civil War, endured capture as a prisoner of war, and earned the nation's highest military honor. Her name was Dr. Mary Walker.Support the showIf today’s episode has resonated with you or helped you in any way, and you’d like to support the show so we can continue to bring you new and free content, I’ve set up an account on Buy Me a Coffee.
