Handling the Sick: The Women of St. Luke's and the Nature of Nursing, 1892-1937 (Women and Health: Cultural and Social Perspectives)

Summary: Handling the Sick
Review: This compact and unimposing book takes a major swipe at various assumptions in previous accounts of nursing history. Its irreverence is refreshing and the questions that it raises about nursing history (e.g. ?do nurses care??) are provocative and enlightening. ?Handling the Sick? is well worth the read.
