Fiery suffragettes, unconventional first ladies and rebellious
socialites--turning up their noses at ladylike behavior, these
pioneering women of Washington, D.C., shattered the expectations of
a tightly corseted society. Escaped slave turned spy Mary Touvestre
risked it all to scuttle Confederate plans to break the Union
blockade. Trading petticoats for trousers to work at the Union
hospitals, Dr. Mary E. Walker was both the only female Medal of
Honor recipient and the possessor of a police record for
impersonating a man. During Prohibition, First Lady Florence
Harding hosted jazz soirees and served up cocktails in the White
House gardens. From pioneering photographers and newspaperwomen to
enterprising madams and soldiers in disguise, author Canden
Schwantes introduces readers to the decidedly daring and wild women
of the capital.
