This is a one-of-a-kind, artistic history of the life of a nursing icon.”</em><strong><em>—</em></strong>Ellen Wurzbach, RN, MSN, PhDfor Doody Review Service<br /><br />Scientist, philosopher, visionary, mystic, healer, reformer, activist, feminist, politician. </p><p>This lavishly illustrated biography celebrates the life and work of Florence Nightingale on the 100th anniversary of her death. With meticulous scholarship, the author documents the struggles and achievements of a woman who defied the conventions and standards of Victorian England to blaze her own path. Archival photographs, drawings, letters, maps, and a riveting narrative create a portrait of this complex, larger than life woman who is still a source of inspiration today. </p>
