Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands
Nurse and businesswoman Mary Seacole was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1805 to a Scottish officer in the British Army and a free Jamaican woman. In Seacole’s autobiographical Wonderful Adventures, she relates her extensive travel and medical contributions, including her work as a nurse during the Crimean War. She had applied to participate in wartime initiatives, including joining a group of nurses organized by Florence Nightingale, but was rejected. Instead, she and a business partner gathered their own supplies, booked passage on a Dutch ship, and established quarters for sick officers between Balaclava and Sevastopol. -
