Book Synopsis: The world knows Florence Nightingale as "the lady with the lamp"—the revered founder of nursing as a respectable profession for women.

In this surprisingly passionate feminist essay (a "brilliant polemic," states Martha Vicinus), Nightingale denounces the lives of idleness she and other women of her class were forced to lead.
