About This Book

The biography follows a renowned nurse’s life from family background and childhood homes through formative training at a deaconess institution, early philanthropic work, and pivotal service amid a wartime hospital crisis. It recounts her organizing and commanding of nursing staff, campaigns to improve sanitation and hospital administration, relationships with patrons and reformers, and later efforts to professionalize nursing and preserve her legacy. Contemporary testimony, illustrations, and personal recollections are woven throughout to create a rounded portrait.
