Mrs. Walker
(See the Spiritist Review, June 1867, and January 1866, on the emancipation of women)
The doctors and interns of the Charity Hospital received, on Saturday, during the morning visit, one of their American colleagues, that got a certain reputation from the last American war.
This surgeon was no other than Mrs. Walker who, during the American Civil War, ran a large ambulance service. Petite, of a delicate complexion, dressed in the elegant simplicity that distinguishes the ladies of society, Mrs. Walker was received very sympathetically and very respectfully. She took a very keen interest in the two major services, one surgical, the other medical.
Her presence at the Charity Hospital proclaimed a new principle that received its blessings in the new world: the equality of women before science.
