The main deeds of world famous women

Florence nightingale was born in Italy on 1820. She is well-off and well-educated. 1850, regardless of her parents' objections, she chose a nursing career that was discriminated against at that time.

In her day, no one of status was a nurse. Nurses are often ignorant, rude, alcoholic and untrained women.

Nightingale's greatest achievement is the establishment of nursing specialty, but its influence goes far beyond this. In the early Victorian era, women learned very little outside the housekeeper, and few women's achievements were becoming ladies.

Ms. nightingale devoted her life to nursing with the noblest dedication and struggled for it all her life. The British regard her as the pride of Britain, and set up a bronze statue for her in London, and printed her bust on the back of the British 10 banknote (the bust of Queen Elizabeth II is on the front).

When the British army was driven out of France, Joan's mother persuaded Pope Callixtus III to review Joan's case and rehabilitated her on 1456. Sanctified by the Vatican 500 years later.
