Description
Florence knew she did not want a life of fancy clothes and parties, like the other girls. She was going to do something different - and important. But what? In 1854, she shocked everyone. Florence set out for the Crimea to nurse soldiers injured in the war. Nothing could have prepared her for the horror of the army hospital and the doctors didn't approve of women and plotted to send her away. But Florence was not to be beaten. She was going to change nursing forever! Part of the Great Victorian series of biographies for children aged 9 years and up.
