During the Civil War, Union Army surgeon Dr. Mary Edwards Walker struggles to be accepted and compensated in the same manner as her male counterparts in the medical field and ultimately becomes the first and only female recipient to receive the Congressional Medal Of Honor. Even after receiving her medical degree at Syracuse Medical College, Walker is considered unfit for the Union Army Examining Board and initially is only allowed to serve voluntarily as a surgeon. While serving in the war, Dr. Walker is captured by Confederate soldiers after boldly crossing enemy lines to treat wounded civilians and is arrested as a spy – eventually being released in a prisoner exchange.
