"Victorian Medicine and Social Reform" traces Florence
Nightingale's career as a reformer and Crimean war heroine. Her
fame as a social activist and her writings including "Notes on
Nursing" and "Notes on Matters Affecting the Health, ""Efficiency
and Hospital Administration of the British Army"""influenced
novelists such as Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George
Eliot. Their novels of social realism, in turn, influenced
Nightingale's later essays on poverty and Indian famine. This study
draws original conclusions on the relationship between
Nightingale's work and its historical context, gender politics, and
such twenty-first-century analogues as celebrity activists Angelina
Jolie, Al Gore, and Nicole Kidman.
