The Life of Florence Nightingale, Volume 1

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)

A history of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern nursing. Here's the definitive biography, gleaned from a lifetime of her notes, letters and writings, that goes way beyond the mere legend of "The Lady With The Lamp", and the "Founder Of Modern Nursing". This well written saga covers the vastly more expanded story of her development into an intelligent woman with a high purpose, her social standing and family connections that opened many doors for her, her extensive work after the Crimean War working with governments to develop better health care delivery systems to the indigent in England and in India, and her voluminous writings on numerous topics. Volume 1 recounts her life from childhood through 1861. (Summary by Michele Fry) (20 hr 13 min)
