Author: Freda MacDonnell
Hardcover, with dust jacket. Good condition.
Miss Nightingale's Young Ladies by Freda MacDonnell is a compelling historical account that explores the lives and experiences of the women trained by Florence Nightingale during the formative years of modern nursing. Focusing on the group of determined young women who entered Nightingale’s training school at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London, the book reveals their personal struggles, dedication, and the social challenges they faced as they ventured into a profession still viewed with suspicion in Victorian society. MacDonnell blends biography, social history, and narrative flair to illuminate how these pioneering nurses carried Nightingale’s principles across the British Empire, laying the foundation for professional nursing and transforming healthcare for generations to come.
