The purpose of the volume is to provide, in one location,
sketches of persons important to American nursing. It is intended
as a companion volume to "Dictionary of American Medical Biography"
(Greenwood, 1984) and utilizes a similar layout: biographical
information, annotations concerning the subject's contribution to
American nursing, a maximum of five important or representative
works, and several selective references. . . . The consolidation of
biographical information and suggested references for detailed
historical data makes this a useful tool for graduate and
undergraduate students who are developing a paper or presentation.
"RQ"
The Dictionary of American Nursing Biography is the first work
to provide a detailed account of the lives and contributions of
those who have had the most significant impact on the development
of nursing as a profession. The product of an intensive research
effort, it brings together a wealth of previously unpublished
material as well as information from a wide range of published
sources. Comprising a total of 196 biographical sketches, the
"Dictionary" offers portraits of nineteenth-century pioneers as
well as more recent innovators involved in the process of
professionalization in specific areas, including military and
public health nursing, nursing administration, and nursing
education. Each entry describes major professional contributions
and supplies data on the nurse's background, education, and career.
Important or representative writings are listed, together with
bibliographies and other source materials. The appendices list
biographical subjects by place of birth, the state in which they
worked, and their specialty or type of nursing. A comprehensive
index provides ready access to specific information.
