Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789, in Ireland. She had a big dream. "I want to be a doctor!" But over two hundred years ago a woman couldn't become a doctor. Her uncle, James Barry, was an artist. And his friend General Miranda had a library. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him. Years later, her uncle James Barry died, leaving her some money. It was enough for her to study to be a doctor.
"But a woman can't become a doctor," said Margaret sadly.
"Yes, you can!" said General Miranda. "All you have to do is disguise yourself as a man." Margaret really wanted to be a doctor. So she cut her long hair, practiced speaking in a deep voice, and put on men's clothes. She also named herself James Barry.
From then on, Margaret Ann Bulkley disappeared. She became James Barry and entered the University of Edinburgh. He worked all through summer when the other students went on holiday.
Barry graduated in 1812 and decided to join the British Army. Dr. James Barry travelled all over the world, helping to save many lives. Before retirement, Barry had risen to the second highest-ranked medical officer in the British Army. Barry improved the conditions for not only wounded soldiers but also the local people, and performed the first recorded successful Caesarean section(剖宫产) in Africa. The secret Dr. James Barry kept for about fifty years was only known after his death in 1865.
