She was the daughter of an Anglican vicar, who served the poor in his Lincolnshire parish. In 1854 Taylor was one of the earliest nurses to be recruited by Nightingale, and her book is an account of the work she and her fellow nurses carried out for the war-wounded in the hospitals at Scutari and Koulali. She describes the original filthy conditions at the old Turkish hospital, and the problems that the Lady with the Lamp and her nurses had to overcome. Impressed by the work of Catholic Sisters at the hospital, after her return to England Taylor converted to Catholicism. She became a nun, and devoted the rest of her life to helping the deprived in London's East End, and to writing articles and books devoted to promoting her charitable work and faith. She died in London in June 1900.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Magdalen Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845748018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845748012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naval \u0026amp; Military Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.77d","brand":"Frances Magdalen Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519528186111,"sku":"9781845748012","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_845712c4-8480-4125-b36f-826ea4222089.jpg?v=1778737681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eastern-hospitals-and-english-nurses-frances-magdalen-taylor-9781845748012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
