History
Florence Nightingale was a social reformer who established modern nursing practice after her time working as a nurse during the Crimean War. In 1860 she founded the world's first secular nursing school at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, England. Her social reform work related to women's rights and included improvements to healthcare, the abolishment of prostitution laws, and fighting for greater opportunities for women in the workforce.
