were still many people in the army in the 1960s who still believed nurses were to be the modern florence nightingale. she's supposed to be chased. she supposed to be self-sacrificing. she's supposed to be patriotic volunteering woman. but in the 1960s in the midst of all these changes, was that still true? was that what women and was that what men want a war now joined the nurse corps for the first time. so those were my questions. what i found was a lot of confliction. a whole lot of complexion about how to use women, how to use men, how to commemorate this work, all of that. and so the title of the book "officer, nurse, woman" comes from your group and add that brings all of that together. it was a 1969 and, the picture of the book comes from that ad. it brings all of these issues together. how the army was changing, nursing was changing, and then also how gender was changing in the '60s. so in the book is a story about 5000 army nurses who served in the, but it's also the sort of these broader social changes that it's the story of the women's movement in the military. through unexpect

so, the feminist press, we put together a project and that to project directors are here, florence howe who is the founder of the press, and surely it was the program director of the whole science project, which also has a web site called under the microscope.com. and how lean who is a board member, who has in fact done a lot of work on the science project. this was put together because it seems to us that it was really important to look at women and science in a different way, instead of sort of theoretical and looking you know what things through a microscope. we said let's do something that is lively and interesting and engaging and tells a story about women and science, because we know that everyone likes a good story. not just those of us who are publishers for instance. so, julie's book came along and it is one way or just delighted to have because it is all those things. it is lively and it is accessible, but it tells an incredibly important story about the role of women in science and the heart of it is something that we rarely think about or acknowledge, but it is that women's

what happened to florence nightingale? what happened to the heroes of the industrial revolution?britain has the proudest history of any country in the world. is it too much to ask that we teach our children about it?
