"Before her intervention nursing was often regarded, at least in England, as 'a menial employment needing neither study nor intelligence' . Although she was by no means alone in this, she helped to turn it into what she realised it must be, a respectable profession for capable women. (Although in many ways she was ahead of her time, she was sufficiently trapped in the culture of her day not to conceive of nursing as a respectable profession for men too.)" 1-04
