Publisher's Summary

Florence Nightingale is usually thought of for her work in the Crimean War, where, as the “Lady with the Lamp”, she tirelessly nursed wounded soldiers at all hours of the night and day. But while these two years were a significant part of her life, she was also much more. 

She was a daughter and sister who consternated her family by refusing to accept the role Victorian society assigned her. Later, she completed groundbreaking work in the fields of public health and statistics and wielded her vast influence to affect important reforms. 

Inside, you will hear about:

  • Nursing dolls and dogs
  • Leading a double life
  • Travel and depression
  • Heading to the Crimean War
  • More than the Lady with the Lamp
  • Final years and death
  • And much more!

Florence Nightingale is considered the founder of modern nursing, and her ideas continue to resound in the field of healthcare even today. Though she certainly had faults, her life is a fascinating story of courage and determination.

Was a good overview but not worth paying for

I wasn’t really that impressed.. it was just more of what we already knew. I don’t think the Author researched much past looking at Google drive. So much more could be said.
