Nightingale's concept of health care was very broad, and led her to promote many progressive causes: an early feminist who worked to make nursing a respectable, well-paid occupation (previously, nurses were little more than untrained hospital cleaners); aware of the starvation in India caused by Britain's laissez-faire policy, she became an opponent of liberal economics and promoted something like Keynesian counter cyclical government spending and broadly conceived of a recognisably modern welfare state; she worked to raise the standard of medical care available in workhouse infirmaries so that even the poorest people would have the same level of care as everyone else.
Most appealing to me is Nightingale's use of data analysis to present her argument. She was ultimately an empiricist and honest enough to go where the data went, and willing to change her mind when the data went elsewhere. This to me is the most modern aspect of her work and personality. Not everyone has the courage and stamina to fight for the issues she fought for, but we all have the capacity to look honestly at the evidence and make our decisions based on that.
This isn't really a biography, but more of a short (200 pages) overview of Nightingale's contributions to health care reform in Britain and Commonwealth, with plenty of direct quotes from her letters and government reports. It is about as useful an introduction to her life as we can expect.… (mehr)
