Description: Julia Hallam considers the 'image' of nursing and how it has been constructed, contributing to the debates surrounding gender and occupational identity.
Review Quotes: "Historians, sociologists, and others may find this book significant to the study of social change and the impace of this predominately female occupational group in society...Those who want more than a peek at 'the masculine vision of profession' as displayed by Dr. Green of" ER -- those who want the opportunity to discover the idea of nurses impacting society--will find this book interesting."
