Reviews

Rima D. Apple, Vilas Life Cycle Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin–Madison:

In reexamining and reinterpreting the life and influence of Florence Nightingale, the authors of the thought-provoking essays in Notes on Nightingale demonstrate the continued power of Nightingale's work and image and, most critically, validate the significance of analyzing contemporary issues from a historical perspective.

Christine Hallett, Director, the UK Centre for the History of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Manchester:

Notes on Nightingale is an extraordinary achievement, bringing together some of the world's most eminent Nightingale scholars. It explodes myths, develops sophisticated lines of analysis, and reveals the full range of achievement of one of the world’s most iconic figures. In doing so, it also provides a lens through which we might view that most elusive of modern arts: nursing.
