		One of the forefathers of Canadian medicine, Dr. James Barry, is remembered not only for groundbreaking reforms in colonial and military medicine, but also for a well-guarded secret that only came to light upon the doctor's death: He was a she.
		Her skills as a surgeon were well-known—she is credited with being one of the rare doctors of the time who could perform a cesarean birth in which both the baby and mother lived.
		She was ill, and in typical Dr. Barry form, insisted that the young doctors who had deemed her unfit for duty were "quacks." She protested to the secretary of state for war, demanding another post—and even a knighthood for her service—but was denied both.
