Unmasked

🎧 Unmasked, or the Science of Immorality, by Mary Edwards Walker

This audiobook is a thought-provoking exploration of morality, ethics, and social reform, penned by the groundbreaking physician, surgeon, and social reformer Mary Edwards Walker (the only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor).

Originally published in 1878, "Unmasked, or the Science of Immorality. To Gentlemen" is a lively and controversial blend of philosophical insights and practical advice, offering a unique perspective on gender, sexuality, and societal expectations in the Victorian era.

Expect to find:

• A challenge to traditional views on morality and a call for individual autonomy and authenticity.
• Discussions on women's rights, equality, and the complexities of human sexuality, including topics like marriage, prostitution, and public health.
• A compelling, and at times explicit, mix of scientific observations and prevailing Victorian sexual mythology.

Walker's fearless and progressive viewpoint makes this historical work an engaging and essential read for anyone interested in 19th-century social history, gender studies, or the life and mind of one of America's most unconventional pioneers.
