This week I read The Sotry Of Florence Nightingale. It was an easy read. It's a biography. The story was about a girl names Florence and she wants to make a difference in her society. She is a wealthy girl and isn't supposed to interact with the lowerclass people. She wants to become a doctor and her parents think it's improper for her to interact with the sick people.
Florence realized that nursing was more than holding a sick persons hand. She knew it required knowledge and training. Florence had a lot of confidence to go against her parents rules. I think she did the right thing because she knew she could be a better person by helping out the sick people. Florence is a brave girl. Most of the doctors were men. Although she knew that she was going to be one of the few women doctors she still went on.
During the Crimean War, Florence got a group of nurses to go nurse on the battlefield. Her team or women were honored for their work on the battlefield. Florence is now known for her bravery to care for the indured soldiers during the war.
I reccomend this book to anyone because it is really short and it is a good book. I don't know exactly how many books I have read. It's thirty something thought. I don't need any reccomendations on books at this time.
Florence is also a city in Italy. Just telling you.
