I Could Not Do Otherwise: The Remarkable Life of Dr. Mary Edwards Walker

This fascinating biography explores the extraordinary life and work of Mary Edwards Walker, who was a Civil War surgeon, a spy captured and arrested by the Confederacy, and the only woman to have ever been awarded the Medal of Honour, the US government's highest military honour. Outspoken and rebellious, she fought for women's and Blacks' rights and advocated for health-care access and social justice. Interestingly, she was not part of the mainstream suffragette movement due to her masculine clothing style and policy differences. In I Could Not Do Otherwise, readers will learn about an amazing historical figure who broke gender norms and fought for issues that are still prevalent today.
