Florence Nightingale (1955) By Cecil Woodham-Smith
 
Based on family papers previously unavailable, this book reveals for the first time the human being behind the legend --- the brilliant, temperamental, unbelievable energetic Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) who accomplished so much for others, and in a sense, so little for herself. Elegant, witty, fascinating, she exercised a compelling power over some of the ablest men of her generation. Famous for her epigrams, addicted to good cooking and pretty clothes, she was not only a saint but a woman of the world.
