Summary:
"In this kids' biography, discover the fascinating story of Florence Nightingale, who cared for British soldiers during wartime as the 'Lady of the Lamp.' Florence Nightingale was a pioneer of nursing at a time when women were discouraged from working outside the home, especially in the field of science. She saved many lives both on and off the battlefield through implementing a new standard of medical care, and by leading groups of nurses to improve conditions."-- provided by publisher.
