Postgraduate and UndergraduateRecenzii
'A claim is made in the Introduction that nursing history if in the process of becoming a "robust and reflective scholarship". This claim is borne out by the general excellence of the papers presented and the book would be a worthy addition to the shelves of nursing & midwifery departmental Libraries in particular, and social studies in general.' - International History of Nursing Journal
'A breath of fresh air for teachers and students...should provide good bed-time reading for students coming up to exams. It should also occupy an important place on the bedroom shelf of any nurse with a professional interest in political issues.' - Nursing Times
'A valuable asset to tutors wanting to interest students in wider horizons and in what happened the day before yesterday and why.' - Monica Baly, Journal of Advanced Nursing
'Tackles some hitherto rather neglected but important issues in nursing history and continues with the trend set by Davies of looking at the experience of 'ordinary' nurses, rather than the 'heroic' figures around whom nursing history was so long focussed.' - British Journal of Midwifery
