Fascinating story of a girl of 12 who dressed as a man to get her medical degree and served as a military doctor most of her life.
Oddly, everyone commented on how small she was, how small her hands were, and how feminine her voice was. In short, she wasn’t really fooling anyone.
But she had an influential aristocrat supporting her, so the biggest issue was her insistence on hygiene in hospitals.
