Popularity 1
"In this captivating biography Sharon M. Harris steers away from a simplistic view and showcases Walker as a Medal of Honor recipient, examining her works as an activist, author, and Civil War surgeon, along with the many nineteenth-century issues she championed: political, social, medical, and legal reforms; abolition; temperance; gender equality; opposition to U.S. imperialism; and dress reform."--Inside jacket.
