A basic Nursing class is doing quick research on well known nurses. The quick way to find information is through Google. Some sites pulled up by Google are very authoritative, others- not so authoritative.
GALILEO offers different resources to search for information about these nurses.
Ancestry.com (
available only on campus) offers interesting insights to the people being researched. Where they lived is only one bit of information offered in the census.
Florence Nightingale is noted in the 1901 census in England as "living on own means".
Clara Barton is in the 1910 Maryland census
Lillian Wald is in the 1930 New York census (index notes her as Lillian D. Wold)
Harriet Tubman is in the 1880 and 1910 New York census.
Sojourner Truth is in the 1860 and 1880 Michigan census.
Margaret Sanger in 1880 New York as child (Higgins) and in 1910 New York census.
Mary Breckinridge 1900 Arkansas census with mother
Virginia Henderson 1930 New York census
Martha Rogers 1930 Tennessee census with parents
Using GALILEO Quick Search and limiting the search to Medicine and Health pulls up articles by and about some of these nurses.
Digging deeper than Google will provide that hook to catch your reader.
