Mary Edwards Walker worked as a battlefield surgeon.

Explanation:

The "Congressional Medal of Honour" was awarded to Dr. Walker for her work during the Civil War in 1865. She was the woman who received the award for the first time in 1917, her name was eliminated from the list of honor, along with others, when the terms were reviewed for the eligibility of the award.
