He established his headquarters at City Point on the James River, requiring thousands of troops, tons of supplies, as well as extensive medical facilities and staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nurses flooded the area, yet many did not work in medical capacities--they served as organizers, advocates and intelligence gatherers. Nursing emerged as a noble profession with multiple specialties. Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, this history covers the resilient women who opened the way for others into postwar medical, professional and political arenas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Marie Christie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476678774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476678771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Jeanne Marie Christie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138594992383,"sku":"9781476678771","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de1d5446-688f-45b5-aaa1-50152b520175.jpg?v=1687900511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-women-of-city-point-jeanne-marie-christie-9781476678771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
