Summary:

"When Florence Nightingale decided as a teenager that she wanted to become a nurse, her parents tried to talk her out of it, claiming that it wasn't a suitable profession for a woman. But she persisted in her career and went on to save countless lives of patients, especially of soldiers. Known as 'The Lady with the Lamp,' she is widely considered to be the founder of modern nursing." -- Provided by publisher
