Description
|
|
|
|
This extraordinary biography reveals an aspect of legendary nurse Florence Nightingale's life that has been largely overlooked: her profound influence on health and welfare in India, on both rural life in the country and the conditions of soldiers sent out to serve in India during the high-water mark of the British Empire. After her achievements in the Crimean War, Nightingale was the most famous woman in Victorian Britain after the queen herself, and used her stature to push for reform in India, leading to often challenging relationships with a series of Britain's Viceroys, from Lord Canning in 1858 to Lord Elgin in 1898.
