| Summary |
"This collection of essays demonstrates the international scope of history of nursing scholarship today, encompassing studies from Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and Europe. The authors examine the social and ethical issues which challenge nurses and midwives in different cultures; the transcultural issues which arise when carers move from one culture to another; and the process of professionalization for women over three centuries. The book highlights the significance of nursing in the history of women's lives and work." "This will make fascinating reading for students and researchers in the history of medicine and nursing, women's history and cultural history."--BOOK JACKET |
