Princesses on the ward : royal women in nursing through wars and revolutions
Hall, Coryne2014
Books
Royal ladies have never been afraid to roll up their sleeves, work in wards, field hospitals and help in the operating theatre, despite their sheltered upbringing. Indeed, through wars and revolutions in Russia, Greece, Spain, Romania, Belgium and Britain, their experiences were no different to those of thousands of other nurses. Beginning with two daughters of Queen Victoria - Princess Alice and Princess Helena - this book tells their stories and the difficulties queens and princesses faced while carving a worthwhile role in an age when the place of a well-born woman was considered to be in the home.
