Ever Yours, Florence Nightingale Selected Letters

Hence, this important collection--selected from over 10,000 of her surviving letters--should prove immensely valuable to students and scholars. The letters represent the full range of her interests and reveal her complex nature: her family conflicts, her ambivalence toward feminism, her views on gender relations. The volume's usefulness is enhanced by a general biographical introduction, focused introductions to each chronological section, and selected reference material.Nightingale, Florence is the author of 'Ever Yours, Florence Nightingale Selected Letters' with ISBN 9780674270206 and ISBN 0674270207.
