Florence Nightingale became one of the most famous women of the Victorian age, but the legend of the Lady with the Lamp was never the whole story.

Behind the image of the gentle nurse walking through the wards of Scutari stood a formidable reformer: disciplined, religious, severe, intelligent, and relentless. Nightingale did not simply comfort wounded soldiers during the Crimean War. She turned suffering into evidence, evidence into reform, and reform into a new standard for nursing, hospital care, sanitation, military medicine, and public health.
