Introduction and revealing notes by the editors. An intimate look at the "savior of the British soldier" who relentlessly campaigned for reforms in professional nursing, medical education, and hospitals. She was major force in the improvement of housing, food, and sanitation for the armed forces throughout the empire, especially in the Crimea and India. From the Dust Jacket: "For many, Florence Nightingale is the most famous woman of her day, second only perhaps to Queen Victoria. Celebrated and beloved by the public and her friends, considered an irritant by politicians and bureaucrats, the great reformer remains a figure of considerable controversy. In this full 'life in letters' we see her at first hand. Martha Vicinus and Bea Nergaard weave together a narrative account and a selection of her letters in such a way as to create - in Nightingale's own words - a fascinating portrayal of the woman, her career, and her concerns. These letters are wonderfully revealing. Had Nightingale not been a reformer, she might have been a writer, with a sure style and acerbic wit. Her letters bring to light conflicting views on women. One also sees her own personal relations and conflicts, including a painful relationship with her mother an sister." Glossary of Nightingale's Major Correspondents. Selected bibliography of writings by and about her. Index. Original maroon cloth. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xii, 461pp .

An English social reformer and statistician, Florence Nightingale is celebrated as the founder of modern nursing. She helped abolish prostitution laws that were overly-harsh towards women and advocated for significant health reforms for all of British Society. She made significant accomplishments in professionalizing nursing roles for women, such as founding the first secular nursing school in Britain at St. Thomas Hospital. She was a skilled and versatile writer, whose work spread medical knowledge and was often presented in a clear and simple manner for those of poor literacy skills. After her death in 1910, her work survives her in the Nightingale Pledge, an oath still taken by nurses today. This volume contains a collection of letters written by Florence Nightingale during the period that brought her lasting fame - the Crimean War. Writing amid scenes of horror and chaos, she gives vent to her indignation in letters to officials, family and friends. She analyzes the causes of the disaster, expounds on the recruitment of nurses, enlarges on her revolutionary measures for the welfare of troops, and gives free rein to her hopes, doubts and frustrations about the nursing service.
