  • Mary Walker (1832-1919) circa 1863. Walker was an American abolitionist, prohibitionist, prisoner of war, and surgeon. She wore men's clothing during her work, claiming it to be easier for high demands, and assumed a crossdressing disguise during the Civil War to cross enemy lines and treat wounded civilians. She also publicized the story of Frances Hook.
