Famous quotes containing the words nightingale and/or wrote:
“Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement—they have only tried to be “men” and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.”

“This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me—
The simple News that Nature told—
With tender Majesty.”
