Gummy tells the story of Margaret Ann Bulkley, more famously known as Dr. James Barry. Barry lived as a man in both public and private life, at least in part in order to be accepted as a university student and to pursue a career as a surgeon. Barry's biological sex became known to the public and to military colleagues after a post-mortem examination. We love a good underdog story.
Then, Jean takes us through the patented technology of Horsey Horseless, a horseless carriage (read: automobile) with a wooden horse head on the front. This story dives into the pains of shifting technologies and the human ability to adapt, illustrated by how and why the Horsey Horseless patent even came about.
