Inspired by the author's commitment to tell the untold story of Jewish women in nursing, this book speaks to STTI's mission of recognizing and celebrating contributions to nursing made by diverse ethnic groups.

Groundbreaking and Highly Readable,
By A Customer
This review is from: As We See Ourselves: Jewish Women in Nursing (Springer Series on Geriatric Nursing) (Paperback)
This is the straightforward and engaging story of the significant role of Jewish women in the development and practice of nursing. In addition to historical material, the book presents the results of extensive interviews with Jewish women involved in 20th century nursing around the globe. Appropriate for the general reader as well as the student of history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of nursing or in the role of Jewish women in medicine.
