Nurses For The Needy: Or Bible-Women Nurses In The Homes Of The London Poor (1875) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437115659)

""Nurses For The Needy: Or Bible-Women Nurses In The Homes Of The London Poor"" is a book written by L. N. Ranyard and published in 1875. The book explores the work of Bible-women nurses in the homes of the poor in London during the mid-19th century. These nurses were trained to provide medical care, spiritual guidance, and moral support to the impoverished and sick in their own homes. The book offers a detailed account of the work of these nurses, their training, and the challenges they faced while working in some of the poorest areas of London. It also provides a historical perspective on the development of nursing as a profession and the role of religion in healthcare during the Victorian era.The author, L. N. Ranyard, was a social reformer and philanthropist who was deeply committed to improving the lives of the poor in London. She founded the Bible and Domestic Female Mission in 1853, which trained women to become Bible-women nurses, and this book was written to promote their work and raise awareness of the needs of the poor.Overall, ""Nurses For The Needy"" is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the important work of Bible-women nurses in London during the Victorian era and the challenges they faced while providing care to the most vulnerable members of society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
