Science and Technique: Nurses’ Work in a Canadian Hospital, 1920-1939
From: Caring and Curing
$3.30
For the most part, feminist scholars have concluded that until at least the post-World War II years nursing work fell outside the modern paradigm of science. This chapter challenges that conclusion by examining the daily practice of nurses at one large urban hospital in Canada during the 1920s and 1930s.
