The women's suffrage movement in UK
The document discusses the suffrage movement in Great Britain. While women paid taxes, they did not have the right to vote. Some argued that even prisoners and "lunatics" could vote, so why not women? However, many opposed women's suffrage, viewing women as too emotional for politics. Early campaigners called suffragists used peaceful tactics, but faced opposition from political parties. This frustration led to more radical suffragettes, who used violence and vandalism. Though some bills were proposed, none passed. Suffragettes escalated their campaign with bombs and arson, leading to arrests. Hunger strikes in prison won sympathy. World War I suspended campaigns, but awareness was raised, hastening women's

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy and grew up in England. She was interested in nursing even though it was seen as a low occupation at the time. Nightingale received training in Germany and took a job running an establishment for sick women. During the Crimean War in 1854, she led a group of nurses and improved sanitary conditions, earning her the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp". Nightingale went on to establish the first nursing school and publish influential writings, revolutionizing the nursing profession before her death in 1910.
Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy to wealthy British parents. She felt called to become a nurse despite her mother wanting her to marry. In 1854, she led a group of 38 nurses to a military hospital in Turkey during the Crimean War. There, she found unsanitary conditions and high death rates from disease. Nightingale reduced the death rate through organized nursing and brought attention to soldiers' conditions. This led to reforms in military medicine. She went on to found the first nursing school in Britain and wrote influential books on nursing.
Florence Nightingale in the 21st Century : A critique
Florence Nightingale had a significant impact on nursing and healthcare in the 19th century through establishing nursing as a respected profession, advocating for hygienic hospital conditions, and founding nursing schools. However, some of her views such as opposition to nurse registration and emphasis on social class are now considered outdated. While still an iconic figure, modern scholarship has also revealed flaws in her character such as exaggerating her own accomplishments and bullying behaviors. Overall, Nightingale's emphasis on clinical practice and education remain relevant today, but some of her specific opinions are no longer applicable in the 21st century healthcare system.
Clara Barton
This is a slide show depicting the life of Clara Barton. The phrases are short because I will be narrating it as I present it.
Clara Barton
Clara Barton was an American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. As a child, she showed an early interest in nursing by caring for injured animals and helping her brother recover from a serious fall. She went on to work as a teacher and clerk before serving as a nurse during the Civil War, where she became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield" for her medical care of soldiers. After the war, Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881 and served as its first president for over 30 years, establishing it as a humanitarian organization to provide relief for victims of conflicts and natural disasters.
Florence Nightingale - The Lady with the Lamp
Florence Nightingale transformed nursing into a respectable profession and pioneered modern healthcare standards through her work during the Crimean War. She found the army hospitals to be unsanitary with high mortality rates and took charge, reducing the death rate from 42% to 2%. Nightingale established rigorous cleaning and training standards, despite resistance. After the war, she continued her reforms through published works and establishing nursing schools, improving civilian and military healthcare worldwide.
Nightingale influence
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 into a wealthy family in Italy and received an excellent education. She wanted to become a nurse despite the poor conditions in hospitals at the time. After visiting a nursing school in Germany, Nightingale established herself as an expert in hospital reform in England. During the Crimean War, she led a group of nurses and greatly reduced mortality rates among soldiers through her emphasis on hygiene and sanitation. After the war, Nightingale continued her work to improve military and civilian healthcare. She established the first nursing school in Britain and advanced nursing as a profession through her writings, establishing standards of nursing education and practice. Nightingale received many honors for her pioneering work in nursing and was
Florence Nightingale's Environment Theory
Florence Nightingale developed the Environmental Theory, which focused on incorporating restoration of a patient's usual health status through manipulation of their environment. She believed the environment influenced health and identified five essential environmental components: pure air, pure water, efficient drainage, cleanliness, and light. Nightingale was influenced by her education, literature works, intellectuals, and religious beliefs. Her theory emphasized proper ventilation, sanitation, light, warmth, noise control and diet. The theory remains important for disease control, architecture, waste disposal, temperature control and education. It provides general nursing guidelines but lacks empirical precision.

Nursing in the 19th century was seen as a lowly occupation, but Florence Nightingale helped improve its reputation through her work in the Crimean War. She established hygiene and sanitation standards at a British army hospital, which reduced the death rate from 42% to 2%. Her subsequent writing helped establish nursing as a respected profession.
