Episode 11 - Mary Edwards Walker: "Is it a man? Is it a woman? Actually it's a doctor"

The Silenced Women of STEM by Disha and Eva

Episode notes

You’ve seen quinceañera dresses, right? Imagine having to perform surgery in that. Dr. Mary Edwards Walker thought the same thing. Mary was one of the most progressive women of her time, who became a surgeon and refused to wear dresses. This story is kinda insane, so buckle up.
