Summary:

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: HISTORICAL, POLITICAL & MILITARY. Whether
honoured and admired or criticized and ridiculed, Florence
Nightingale has invariably been misrepresented and misunderstood. As
the Lady with the Lamp, ministering to the wounded and dying of the
Crimean War, she offers an image of sentimental appeal and one that
is permanently lodged in our national consciousness. This is her
biography.
