Florence Nightingale and the Nursing Legacy

By Monica Baly and Baly

Based on research into the records of the Nightingale Fund and how it was used to finance various experiments in nursing and midwifery training in the 19th century, this work traces the development of nurse training. It also discusses the problems that beset a fledgling profession, covering such areas as the demands of scientific medicine, the emancipation of women and the growth of women's education.
