Episode 229: Hoes of History: Dr. Mary Edwards Walker

In all of United States History, there has only been one woman to receive the Medal of Honor. Dr. Mary Edwards Walker is that woman. As a surgeon, women's rights advocate, abolitionist, and spy, Walker became the first female U.S. Army surgeon during the Civil War. Her legacy has been celebrated across the country, and in 2012 Walker's hometown unveiled a 900-pound bronze statue in honor of her contributions.
