OverviewMary Edwards Walker was a force of nature, earning her the nickname Contrary Mary. She refused to limit herself based on society's expectations and forged her own path. Wearing her pants and tunic, Mary became the first female surgeon in the United States Army. She persisted through an education system stacked against her, divorce, government roadblocks, and enemy forces who took her prisoner. In the end, she won the Medal of Honor for her bravery and service during the Civil War. She provided a safe place for others like her. When the government changed its mind about her medal, Contrary Mary refused to give it back and wore it proudly for the rest of her life. Join her on her journey and learn that it's okay to be you, no matter who that is.
