Mary Seacole: the charismatic Black nurse who became a heroine of the Crimea - Softcover

Jane Robinson is a writer and lecturer who specialises in history witnessed by women. She has published several popular books on women travellers and a 'secret history of enterprising women', Pandora's Daughters (Constable, 2002).

Robinson's book is the first I have read that has opened my eyes to the true horrors of the Mutiny. * Daily Mail * A fine piece of work. * Daily Telegraph * Useful and highly enjoyable. * Times Literary Supplement * Utterly absorbing... every page jammed with catchy vignettes. * Observer * Throughout history there have been women who deserve to be remembered for what they themselves achieved... Robinson gives them life once more. * Guardian *
