The woman and her legend

Whether honoured and admired or criticized and ridiculed, Florence Nightingale has invariably been misrepresented and misunderstood. As the Lady with the Lamp, ministering to the wounded and dying of the Crimean War, she offers an image of sentimental appeal and one that is permanently lodged in our national consciousness. This is her biography.
