Overview

As a wealthy young woman living in Victorian England, Florence Nightingale knew that she was expected to marry, bear children, and run a household. But Florence wasn't interested in a husband or babies-- she wanted to spend her life helping others. When Florence was invited to nurse soldiers wounded in the Crimean War, she saw an opportunity to make a difference in the world. On her arrival at the army hospital, she found filth, infection, and disease. By the time she left Crimea, she changed the face of nursing forever. This is the story of a woman whose intelligence, determination, and bravery made hospitals cleaner and safer, and who saved countless lives as a result of her work.
