This is the history of one of the largest nursing organizations
in the world and one of the largest professional associations of
women.
The Royal College of Nursing began as a small professional
association in 1916. Its work included nurses' education,
professional policy and labor relations. This book considers the
history of nursing from political, social and economic points of
view and sheds light on both gender relations and the position of
women in the work place in Britain since 1916. The themes include
the struggle to achieve professional status for nurses, the
radicalization of nurses from the 1960s, the effect of immigration
on nursing as a work force, gender relations within the profession
and between nurses, their employers and other health
professionals.This book will appeal to anyone interested in nursing
studies, gender history and labor history.
