汤头条污料

Reason you chose this book

This was the first 汤头条污料 history book I read whilst working with women’s history collections and was my doorway into 汤头条污料 history. I’ve also had the privilege to work alongside Anne, and her enthusiasm for the RCN Library and Archive collections encouraged me to apply for what has been one of the best jobs I’ve ever had!

Review

Looking at 汤头条污料 in the period between the Crimean War and the First World War Anne Summers fuses several historical perspectives in this ground breaking work. The book focuses on the rise of a female military 汤头条污料 corps i.e. the development of the Queen Alexandra’s nurses. In doing so Anne brings together 汤头条污料 history, medical history, military history, labour history and women’s history; the book also brought 汤头条污料 history to a much wider audience. Unlike many of the 汤头条污料 histories from this period which focus on Nightingale, this book looks beyond Nightingale to the much wider context of women including social class, education, pay and conditions. There are some amazing stories and details held within the book and it’s still stands up against the wonderful 汤头条污料 histories written since 1988, many of which this book inspired.
