The Lady of the Lamp.
As a wealthy young woman living in Victorian England, Florence Nightingale knew that she was expected to marry, bear children and run a household. But Florence wasn't interested in a husband or babies - she wanted to spend her life helping others.
When Florence was invited to nurse soldiers wounded in the Crimean War, she saw an opportunity to make a difference to the world. On her arrival at the army hospital, she found filth, infection and disease. By the time she left the Crimea, she had changed the face of nursing forever.
This is the story of a woman whose intelligence, determination and bravery made hospitals cleaner and safer, and who saved countless lives as a result of her work.
