Edward Tyas Cook’s two-volume biography of Florence Nightingale is the standard life of the woman who revolutionized nursing and hospital sanitation in Victorian Britain. Volume 2 covers Nightingale’s later decades — her tireless statistical and administrative work, her influence on public health policy, and her extraordinary decades of activity carried out largely from her sickbed after her return from the Crimea.
Cook’s thorough, sympathetic, and authoritative account draws on Nightingale’s vast correspondence and papers. Download this free EPUB and explore the full scope of one of history’s most impactful lives.
