Elliott and two coeditors (all nursing history research, U. of Ottawa, Canada) present 9 essays by contributors who consider Canada's nursing history (mid-1800s to 1970) through a feminist and historical perspective, particularly considering the role of place in the professional opportunity and experience of nurses who worked outside the hospital context. Subjects considered include: WWI military nurses, the healing work of aboriginal women in indigenous and newcomer communities, the development of Winnipeg's visiting nursing agencies, Red Cross nursing pioneers in Manitoba, and settlement nurses in the remote areas of Québec.
