The Life of Florence Nightingale
Journalist and author Sarah Tooley was best known in her time for her biography of Queen Victoria and this biography of Florence Nightingale, written while its subject was still living (while Project Gutenberg lists its publication date as 1916, its original publication date appears to be 1904). Tooley gives us a comprehensive and engaging look at the life of this remarkable woman, who was not only the founder of modern nursing, but a statistician, social reformer, feminist, and author. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
