Florence Nightingale: The Courageous Life of the Legendary Nurse

Most people know Florence Nightingale was a compassionate and legendary nurse, but they don’t know her full story. Nightingale is best known for her work during the Crimean War, when she vastly improved gruesome and deadly conditions and made nightly rounds to visit patients, becoming known around the world as the Lady with the Lamp. But her tireless and inspiring work continued after the war, and her modern methods in nursing became the defining standards still used today.

This riveting biography explores the exceptional life of a woman who defied the stifling conventions of Victorian society to pursue what was considered an undesirable vocation. Author Catherine Reef uses primary sources and archival photographs to create a vibrant and complex portrait of Nightingale and her influence on medicine.
