  • Title: Heroines of '98: female Army nurses in the Spanish-American war.
    Author: Kalisch PA.
    Journal: Nurs Res; 1975; 24(6):411-29. PubMed ID: 1105431.
    Abstract:
    Experiences of female Army nurses-their devotion to duty, contributions, and successes as well as their trials, tribulations, and sufferings--during the Spanish-American War and afterwards are described. How service by the heroines of '98 led to a change of attitude by the Army Medical Department is sketched. At the beginning of the War with Spain, the Medical Department had been reluctant to use female nurses; by the end of the war, the nurses had so demonstrated their value that Congress established permanent Army Reserve Nurse Corps.
