Florence Nightingale was born one year after Queen Victoria, the younger daughter of wealthy and possessive parents to whom she was a source of mingled pride and pain for thirty-four years. After that date, pride predominated.
Mrs. Woodham-Smith has described with uncommon insight what that life was. Although on the surface, all in Victorian home was smoothness and peace, Florence was brought up in a hot-house of emotion.
