A proposito di questo titolo
Maria Smilios is the author of The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis. Working as a development editor in the biomedical field, Smilios came upon the story of the African-American nurses who played a key role in the cure of tuberculosis and she just had to share it. The result is a gripping account of the lives of the women who came to New York and performed heroically against tremendous odds.
What we cover –
- The scourge of tuberculosis in the early 19th century and how it threatened the lives of millions of Americans.
- Why a medical institute in New York that was dedicated to combating tuberculosis looked to African-Americans living in the south to fill its nursing positions.
- The effects of Jim Crow on these nurses and the continued racism they combatted in New York.
