Mary Edwards Walker was born on thus day, November 26, in 1832.
Mary Walker was a suffragist, prohibitionist, Civil War hero, and pioneering physician, but it was her preference for traditional male clothing that earned her notoriety. Once, when asked why she wore men’s clothes, she answered, “I don’t wear men’s clothes. I wear MY clothes.”
Virginia’s Fort AP Hill, once named after a Confederate general, was this year renamed Fort Mary Walker. ❤️
