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. 606 $aWomen$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen's health services$zGreat Britain 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen's health services 676 $a610.73 676 $a610.73092 701 $aMcDonald$b Lynn$f1940-$01468906 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783249003321 996 $aFlorence Nightingale on women, medicine, midwifery and prostitution$93821428 997 $aUNINA
