Lesley Joy Whitehead, aka Jo Whitehead, was the eldest child of industrialist Charles Ross Whitehead of Trois-Rivières.  Born in 1895, she led a most remarkable and unusual life, which has been all but forgotten in her home country of Canada until now.  Over the course of her work researching the history of the Scottish Women's Hospitals' Serbian Units, Dr. Natasha Stoyce of the UK stumbled on clues which led her to bring the story of Jo Whitehead to the light.  In this episode, Natasha tells host Julie Miller the amazing details that she's uncovered and continues to uncover about an apparently fearless woman who insisted on defining her own self, and who, if alive today, might have identified herself as a non-binary person.
