    Author: Denny E.
    Journal: Int Hist Nurs J; 1996; 2(2):50-8. PubMed ID: 11618490.
    Abstract:
    Mary Cadbury was one of six daughters in a wealthy Birmingham family, all of whom took up professional or unpaid philanthropic work. In 1873 Mary began nurse training at the Nightingale School, St Thomas's Hospital, and regularly sent letters to family and friends, which provide a graphic account of the experience of a nurse in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
