Opis

In 1886, Newark City Hospital opened a training school for nurses. At the dawn of a new century women began to demand rights that had been denied, and nurses demanded changes in healthcare and higher education. 'On Duty' offers an account of the struggle for professional autonomy by the nurses to redefine their roles in society.
