The Fighting Doctor is a historical novel written by Helen Reimensnyder Martin. Set in the late 1800s, the story follows the life of Dr. Mary Walker, one of the first female physicians in the United States. Dr. Walker is a passionate advocate for women's rights and social justice, and she faces many challenges and obstacles as she fights for equality and justice for all.The novel explores Dr. Walker's personal and professional life, from her childhood in upstate New York to her medical training in Syracuse and her work as a surgeon during the Civil War. It also delves into her activism and advocacy work, including her involvement in the women's suffrage movement and her advocacy for dress reform.Throughout the book, Dr. Walker faces discrimination and opposition from those who oppose her views and her work. But she remains steadfast in her commitment to justice, even in the face of personal and professional setbacks.The Fighting Doctor is a powerful and inspiring story of one woman's fight for equality and justice in a world that often seemed stacked against her. It sheds light on an important figure in American history and offers a compelling portrait of a woman who refused to be silenced or held back by the limitations of her time.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
