The Lady with the Lamp: The Story of Florence Nightingale

3.9/5 ( ratings)

"You, Florence! Become a nurse?" Dr. Fowler stares at the slim, elegant girl. "It won't take you long to change your mind- after you see a hospital ward. Come."

The horrible smell, the dark, stained walls, and the moans of dying patients on the care of coarse, uncaring ward-nurses, sicken Florence. But she forces herself to look.

"I will change all this," she vows, "if it takes me a lifetime."

Read how Florence Nightingale - the belle of Victorian society - becomes a nurse, and turns the terrible "pest-houses" of her day into clean, modern hospitals.
