Description

Florence Nightingale: The Woman and Her Legend is a masterful biography that sets the record straight about one of Britain's most iconic heroines. For too long, Florence Nightingale has been misrepresented and misunderstood, her true achievements and complexities lost in myth and legend. This book draws on a wealth of unpublished material and family papers to reveal the reality behind the iconic image of the Lady with the Lamp. Mark Bostridge's biography is a vivid and immensely readable account of Florence Nightingale's life, spanning her 90 years and tackling subjects such as her tireless campaigning, intellectual abilities, and personal struggles. By disentangling myth from reality, Bostridge reinvigorates one of the most iconic figures in modern British history, offering a fresh and compelling perspective on a woman who continues to captivate and inspire.
