EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to St Petersburg in 1877, where women were being trained as nurses at a military hospital. The image, originally published in The Graphic on June 2nd of that year, offers a glimpse into the progressive strides made in healthcare during the 19th century. In this scene, we see a group of dedicated female nurses wearing aprons and Victorian-era clothing. They are surrounded by patients and doctors within the hospital's interior. These brave women have taken up an occupation traditionally dominated by men, challenging societal norms and paving the way for future generations of female medical professionals. The print not only captures the essence of their training but also highlights the significance of their role during times of war. As soldiers fill the ward, these compassionate nurses provide care and support to those injured in battle. Their dedication to healing is evident through their attentive gestures towards both patients and physicians. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality within medicine. It pays homage to these trailblazing women who defied expectations and contributed immensely to society's well-being. Through their commitment to science and compassion for others, they embody the true spirit of nursing - an enduring profession that continues to save lives today.
