There is correspondence with women friends and colleagues from childhood to old age, on a vast range of subjects. Correspondents include old family friends, royal and notable personages, nuns and colleagues in various causes. Most of this material has not been published before and some letters wil be new even to Nightingale scholars. Altogether a very different view of Nightingale emerges from what normally appears in biographies and other secondary sources. This material will enable a new assessment of her feminism, her relations with women and her contribution to improving the status of women of her time. \u003cbr\u003e Currently, Volumes 1 to 11 are available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynn McDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889204667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889204669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 2.83d","brand":"Lynn McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427434250495,"sku":"9780889204669","price":157.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_829d1147-67c3-4c6d-9ed0-49c9c23df58e.jpg?v=1761579524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/florence-nightingale-on-women-medicine-lynn-mcdonald-9780889204669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
