Ангелы с полей сражений: Поразительные портреты медсестер середины 19 века
В этих удивительных снимках из архивов Библиотеки Конгресса зафиксированы облики женщин, живших в середине XIX столетия. Они проявили инициативу, используя доступные средства, медицинские знания и личное бесстрашие, чтобы оказывать поддержку во время военных конфликтов. Флоренс Найтингейл, благодаря ее вкладу в лечение раненых и заботу об умирающих солдатах в период Крымской войны, по праву считается основоположницей современной профессии медицинской сестры, став примером для множества женщин, оказывавших медицинскую помощь в годы Гражданской войны в Соединенных Штатах.
