Wald was a nurse who followed a child home to a tenement and never left. Her memoir tells how the Henry Street settlement grew from that: visiting nursing, the first school nurses in America, the playgrounds and clubs, and the campaign for a federal children’s bureau.

The woman who invented public health nursing, in her own words. Download the free EPUB.
