Sinopsis

Winner of the 2021/2022 PeopleâÇÖs Book Prize Best Achievement AwardHomes can be both comforting and troubling places. This timely book proposes a newáunderstanding of Florence NightingaleâÇÖs experiences of domestic life and how ideasáof home influenced her writings and pioneering work. From her childhood homes ináDerbyshire and Hampshire, she visited the poor sick in their cottages. As a young woman,áfeeling imprisoned at home, she broke free to become a woman of action, bringingáhome comforts to the soldiers in the Crimean War and advising the British populationáon the home front how to create healthier, contagion-free homes. Later, she createdáNightingale Homes for nursing trainees and acted as mother-in-chief to her extendedáfamily of nurses. These efforts, inspired by her Christian faith and training in human careáfrom religious houses, led to major changes in professional nursing and public health, asáNightingale strove for homely, compassionate care in Britain and around the world. Shedid most of this work from her bed after contracting the debilitating illness, brucellosis,áin the Crimea, turning her various private homes into offices and âÇÖhouseholds of faithâÇÖ.áIn the year of the bicentenary of her birth, she remains as relevant as ever, achieving anáastonishing cultural afterlife.
