Notes:
In a good condition. This is the 1952 Reprint Society edition in brown cloth, no dust jacket. Pages clean and bright with no foxing, spine edges quite worn from use. A handsome reading copy of the definitive biography. Includes a vintage Glaxo Laboratories pharmaceutical bookmark from circa 1960, found tucked inside, presumably left by a previous owner who worked in medicine. See photos for more details.

About this book:
The biography that defined how we understand Florence Nightingale, written by one of the great mid-century biographers and winner of the James Tait Black Award. Woodham-Smith had access to family papers that hadn't been seen by previous biographers, and the result is the woman behind the legend: difficult, brilliant, exhausted, transformative. The Lady with the Lamp turned out to be a hospital reformer, statistician and political fighter who reshaped nursing, sanitation and military medicine.
