About this listen

 Dive into the comprehensive biography of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the pioneer of modern nursing. This captivating account, enriched by her personal notes, letters, and writings, goes beyond the well-known narrative of The Lady With The Lamp. It explores Florences transformation into an influential woman with a noble mission, her advantageous social status that unlocked numerous opportunities, and her monumental contributions post-Crimean War. She worked tirelessly with governments to improve healthcare for the poor in England and India and was a prolific writer on a variety of subjects. Volume 1 traces her life from her formative years until 1861. (Summary by Michele Fry)
