In Say Little, Do Much, Sioban Nelson casts light on the work of these women's religious communities. According to Nelson, the popular view that nursing invented itself in the second half of the nineteenth century is historically inaccurate and dismissive of the major advances in the care of the sick as a serious and skilled activity, an activity that originated in seventeenth-century France with Vincent de Paul's Daughters of Charity.In this comparative, contextual, and critical work, Nelson demonstrates how modern nursing developed from the complex interplay of the Catholic emancipation in Britain and Ireland, the resurgence of the Irish Church, the Irish diaspora, and the mass migrations of the German, Italian, and Polish Catholic communities to the previously Protestant strongholds of North America and mainland Britain. In particular, Nelson follows the nursing Daughters of Charity through the French Revolution and the Second Empire, documenting the relationship that developed between the French nursing orders and the Irish Catholic Church during this period. This relationship, she argues, was to have major significance for the development of nursing in the English-speaking world. 410 0$aStudies in health, illness, and caregiving 606 $aNursing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aMonastic and religious life of women 606 $aHospitals 606 $aSisterhoods 606 $aCaring$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aCatholicism$xhistory 606 $aHistory of Nursing 606 $aHistory, 19th Century 606 $aHistory of Nursing 606 $aHospitals$xhistory 606 $aWomen$xhistory 610 $aCaregiving. 610 $aHealth. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aMedicine. 615 0$aNursing$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aMonastic and religious life of women. 615 0$aHospitals. 615 0$aSisterhoods. 615 0$aCaring$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 12$aCatholicism$xhistory. 615 12$aHistory of Nursing. 615 22$aHistory, 19th Century. 615 22$aHistory of Nursing. 615 22$aHospitals$xhistory. 615 22$aWomen$xhistory. 676 $a610.73/09 700 $aNelson$b Sioban$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01510193 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781621303321 996 $aSay Little, Do Much$93856606 997 $aUNINA
