There is correspondence with women friends and colleagues from childhood to old age, on a vast range of subjects. Correspondents include old family friends, royal and notable personages, nuns and colleagues in various causes. Most of this material has not been published before and some letters wil be new even to Nightingale scholars. Altogether a very different view of Nightingale emerges from what normally appears in biographies and other secondary sources. This material will enable a new assessment of her feminism, her relations with women and her contribution to improving the status of women of her time.WomenGreat BritainSocial conditionsWomen's health servicesGreat BritainElectronic books.WomenSocial conditions.Women's health services610.73610.73092McDonald Lynn1940-856191MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450633503321Florence Nightingale on women, medicine, midwifery and prostitution2001198UNINA
