As the author of A Woman of Honor:
Dr. Mary E. Walker and the Civil Walker, I was delighted to come across this site and also to read the positive remarks from many of your readers.
Keep up the good work.

I have studied Dr Mary Walker as a reenacter and seamstress and reproduced one of the dresses she wore in one of her pictures. She was married in a bloomer costume, had the words “honor and obey” stricken from her marriage vows and refused to take her new husbands last name. Mary was buried wearing her Medal of Honor. In 1977 Les Aspin of Wisconsin introduced a bill to restore the medal to Mary. The bill passed and her medal was restored to her. As of 1994 her name was the only female name on the list of Medal of Honor winners. Civil War Times Illustrated May/June 1994

How many times exactly was she arrested for wearing pants? I can’t seem to find it and I’m trying to write a creative piece on her.

[…] The Memory Palace – I found this one just a few weeks ago after it was mentioned on another podcast. Imagine short stories from history told in a beautiful, engaging way – That’s what this podcast is. They’re usually only twenty minutes long or less, so it’s perfect for walking the dog or a short commute. History buffs will enjoy this one. FREQUENCY: about once a week – currently on a break, but will return in January FAVORITE EPISODE: Episode 76 (Mary Walker Would Wear What She Wanted) […]

I LOVED this episode. Thank you so much for all that you do and the fascinating figures that you write about. Mary Walker sees like such an interesting historical figure.

[…] The Memory Palace: “no. 116,842” — The Memory Palace always makes me get all watery at inopportune moments. DiMeo has this uncanny ability to wrest meaning out of a phrase by repeating it: in this case, “let her mind wander.” See also, “Mary Walker would wear what she wanted.” […]

Since I discovered The Memory Palace about a month ago I have been recommending it to all my friends and anyone who even vaguely mentions enjoying podcasts. I’m so glad you’re back making more, this made my day.

I’d rather Nate just continue to base episodes on whatever he finds interesting. Topics are nice but passion is better. I’d be happy if he only made a single episode a year if it meant that it was the only one he was passionate about. I think most of his listeners would agree with me as well.

Nate, welcome back brother! I was so pleased to see that a new Memory Palace was available this past Monday. Once again, you weave an amazing picture of a life in such short time. I agree with Lulu, I’m going to have to find her biography. Mary Walker will wear what she wants, and increasingly I believe that my wife, my daughter, my mother, and my female students can do anything and make it meaningful. Glass obstacles be damned. We listened to it twice in a row.

Hum…Nate perhaps you should keep making episodes about women’s rights pioneers. It seems to make you very popular with the ladies. 🙂

Heather, you’re not alone. I too was moved to tears. Thank you Nate, excellent work! Keep ’em coming!

Darn it, Nate. I’m crying at my desk again…in my jeans…because of Mary Walker.
Thanks for another great story!

I remember studying Mary Walker in school, but this has inspired me to read her biography. Keep up the good work Nate!
