Book Description
They say that behind every great man is a hard-working woman. Behind the titanic that was Florence Nightingale, there was a lesser-known sister, Frances Parthenope. While Florence achieved iconic fame for her work with wounded soldiers in the Crimea, Parthenope spent her days gathering supplies for those same soldiers, especially the ever-needed dry socks, and sending them overseas. With hands badly damaged by rheumatic fever, Parthenope tirelessly penned letters to Florenceâs supporters and tactfully requested donations. Eventually, Parthenope married and turned her writing talents to fiction and non-fiction that exposed Victorian injustices toward the poor and women. Florence Nightingaleâs older sister never achieved the fame that came to the âLady of the Lamp.â However, in her own right, Frances Parthenope Verney was a great Victorian. A novelist, journalist, and activist, she supported her sisterâs reform of the medical profession while being a thought influencer on the subject of the urban poor and the British peasantry.
