Mary Edwards Walker

Her pioneering spirit in a male-dominated era is fascinating, but I wonder if the book emphasizes her gender advocacy enough or if it leans more on her military service.

The historical details made the era feel real, but I’m curious if others felt the narrative captured the complexities of wartime or if it focused more on Walker’s individual journey.

Her wearing men's clothing was quite rebellious for her time, and I’d love to know how the author approached framing this aspect of her personality within the broader story.
