Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), who came to be known as The Lady of the Lamp, was a pioneer of modern nursing
and a noted statistician. Inspired by what she took as a Christian divine calling, experienced first in 1837 at
Embley Park and later throughout her life, Nightingale committed herself to nursing. In 1859, she set up the Nightingale
Training School at St. Thomas' Hospital. In 1860 she wrote Notes on Nursing, a slim book that served as the cornerstone
of the curriculum at the Nightingale School and other nursing schools established. She also wrote Suggestions for
Thought to Searchers after Religious Truth. The three-volume book has never been printed in its entirety, but a
section, called Cassandra, was published in 1928. It included in The Cause, a history of the women's movement.
