Florence Nightingale : the making of an icon / Mark Bostridge. by Bostridge, Mark. New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. Subjects Nightingale, Florence, 1820-1910.   Nurses -- England -- Biography. ISBN:  9780374156657 (hbk. : alk. paper) : 0374156654 (hbk. : alk. paper) Description:  xxiii, 646 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Edition:  1st American ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  The common soldier's savior, the standard-bearer of modern nursing, a pioneering social reformer: Florence Nightingale belongs to that select band of historical characters who are instantly recognizable. Home-schooled, bound for the life of an educated Victorian lady, Nightingale scandalized her family when she found her calling as a nurse, a thoroughly unsuitable profession for a woman of her class. As the "Lady with the Lamp," ministering to the wounded and dying of the Crimean War, she offers an enduring image of sentimental appeal. In the first major biography of Florence Nightingale in more than fifty years, Mark Bostridge draws on a wealth of unpublished material, including previously unseen family papers, to throw new light on this extraordinary woman's life and character. Disentangling elements of myth from the reality, Bostridge has written a vivid and readable account of one of the most iconic figures in modern history.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Biography B Nightingale Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 610.73092 Nightingale Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B NIGHTINGALE, Florence Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Nightingale Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
