This book brings together a collection of works by scholars who have produced some of the most innovative and influential work on the topic of First World War nursing in the last ten years. The contributors employ an interdisciplinary collaborative approach that takes into account multiple facets of Allied wartime nursing: historical contexts (history of the profession, recruitment, teaching, different national socio-political contexts), popular cultural stereotypes (in propaganda, popular culture) and longstanding gender norms (woman-as-nurturer). They draw on a wide range of hitherto neglected historical sources, including diaries, novels, letters and material culture. The result is a fully-rounded new study of nurses’ unique and compelling perspectives on the unprecedented experiences of the First World War.

In 1939, the British journal Nursing Mirror launched a competition to find the "typical" nurse. Over the following weeks, hundreds of nurses submitted a portrait photograph to try and meet the journal's criteria. "This is not a beauty competition in the ordinary sense of the word." The editor stressed, "It is to find the typical nurse--the nurse whose features suggest not merely beauty of line, but professional capacity and human sympathy". Was it even possible to show these things in one simple photograph? The Nursing Mirror judges certainly thought so. The competition winners--and other entries published regularly during 1939--provide an interesting lens through which to explore inter-war stereotypes of nursing in Britain. From this starting point on the eve of the Second World War, this work looks back through the complex--and often conflicting--representations of British nursing in the inter-war era, from the impact of the Nursing Registration Act of 1919 to the romanticized figure of Edith Cavell and the lingering specter of the angelic Nightingale nurse. It examines how attitudes to gender and class influenced representations of nursing, and how those attitudes themselves changed during this period. It considers why the visual image of the nurse was so prominent in portrayals of nursing, and perhaps most importantly of all, what impact those stereotypes of nursing had for those at the vanguard of a fledgling profession.

The image of the nurse is ubiquitous, both in life and in popular media. One of the earliest instances of nursing and media intersecting is the Edison phonographic recording of Florence Nightingale's voice in 1890. Since then, a parade of nurses, good, bad or otherwise, has appeared on both cinema and television screens. How do we interpret the many different types of nurses--real and fictional, lifelike and distorted, sexual and forbidding--who are so visible in the public consciousness? This book is a comprehensive collection of unique insights from scholars across the Western world. Essays explore a diversity of nursing types that traverse popular characterizations of nurses from various time periods. The shifting roles of nurses are explored across media, including picture postcards, film, television, journalism and the collection and preservation of uniforms and memorabilia.
