The narrative focuses on female Jewish refugees who escaped Nazi persecution and became nurses during the mid-twentieth century. Amidst a backdrop of poor pay and strict discipline in nursing, these women navigated a profession that was largely unappealing to British women, contributing to staffing shortages in hospitals. Set against the gendered landscape of wartime Britain, the book highlights how nursing emerged as a vital yet feminized occupation, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by women in this critical role.
