More about the book

The book delves into the lesser-known contributions of women in nursing during the Crimean War, highlighting figures like Martha Clough, Eliza Roberts, and Mary Seacole, alongside Florence Nightingale. It emphasizes the dynamic relationships between Nightingale and strong-willed characters such as Betsy Cadwaladyr and Mother M. Francis Bridgeman. Cadwaladyr's culinary skills and Bridgeman's nursing expertise illustrate the diverse roles women played on the front lines. The narrative also explores the Sisters of Mercy's crucial work against cholera and dysentery, often overshadowed in nursing history.
