Description
This is a quite fascinating book, despite its obvious weaknesses, for it gives the reader an abiding sense of the tenacious courage and the far vision of Miss Nightingale. The name of the book is misleading, even though it comes from the authoritative "Life" by Cook, who said, "A great Commander was lost when Florence Nightingale was born a woman." From a nursing point of view, she was a great commander in a very true sense. It is an interesting book and, since it was written for the general reader, it comes at a time when it should contribute to a better understanding of nursing. - The American Journal of Nursing, June 1929, p. 754.
