More about the book

The autobiography provides a vivid account of Mary Seacole, a Jamaican nurse known as Mother Seacole, who defied racial prejudice to aid wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. Despite being denied support by the British government, she independently financed her journey and established boarding houses in Panama and Crimea to care for the sick. With a background in herbal and folk medicine taught by her mother, Seacole's story highlights her remarkable resilience and dedication to helping others in a time of conflict.
