Lewiston's Mary Brown is Maine's 'Mulan'

Go ahead, get it out of your system. I know you want to.
Let's get down to business,
(sorry, couldn't help myself) the legend of Mulan varies, but it follows a young woman named Mulan who, to protect her father from sure death in battle, disguised herself as a man to take his place in the army.
So, what does this have to do with a Mainer? Well, it has some similarities to the story of Mary Brown of Lewiston.
Back in the 1800s, women were not allowed to join the National Guard. In fact, according to the National Guard, women weren't allowed to join until 1956 and they weren't able to join the ranks as enlisted members until 1968.
