Lucy Osburn (1836-1891) was the founder of modern nursing in
Australia who also pioneered the employment of high status
professional women in public institutions. Osburn learned her
vocation at Florence Nightingale's school of nursing in London, but
her relationship with Nightingale was not the smooth discourse of
"Victorian ladies". Godden uses extensive and frank correspondence
to build an intriguing picture of life for an independent
middle-class woman. Osburn's triumphs and trials in New South Wales
typify the struggles the colony faced in its relations with the
Mother Country, and with new roles in the workplace for women. An
enthralling and enlightening read.
