When considering who I idolize in life, I think of remarkable women like Sarah Emma Edmonds, Frances Clayton, and Albert Cashier. These women not only fought against the odds but also defied societal expectations by disguising themselves as men to serve in the Civil War.
Courage and Resilience
Their bravery in the face of danger is truly inspiring. Sarah Emma Edmonds, known as "Franklin Thompson," took part in significant battles and served as a nurse and a spy. Frances Clayton fought alongside her husband and continued to serve even after his death, displaying unwavering courage. Albert Cashier, born Jennie Hodgers, lived as a man throughout his life and fought valiantly for the Union.
Talk about breaking barriers. These women broke through the limitations society placed on them and became symbols of strength and determination. They remind us that true heroism comes in many forms and that the fight for equality and recognition has deep historical roots. Their stories inspire me to face challenges head-on and to honor the courage of those who came before us.
In a world that often underestimates the power of individuals, these women stand as shining examples of bravery and resilience. Their legacy continues to motivate me to push boundaries and pursue my passions today.
It’s best to learn from history rather than repeat its mistakes.

Thanks for your feedback and I see your viewpoint. While those women may not have set out to prove anything, I think their actions show that heroism can come in different forms. They stood up in a tough time and challenged what it meant to be brave, regardless of gender. I'm open to chatting more about this and appreciate your thoughts
