       Mary Edwards Walker worked as a surgeon for the Union Army during the Civil War. She was captured by Confederates after crossing enemy lines to treat wounded civilians & arrested as a spy. She's the only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor - pictured here, wearing it.#histodons #histodon #history #civilwar #TIL #introductions #FF #americanhistory #womenshistory #womensrights #military #CivilWarHistory
