Florence Nightingale - Nurse, Statistician, Author, Sanitation Advocate

My BA is in political studies though I've also done addition university study on theology. Furthermore, I am a bookworm that cannot stop with reading just one book about a topic. Instead I have to follow faint connections, digging out who a person's influential contemporaries were and how a topic is reflected in the literature that comes later. I believe it is important when learning about a person to not just read about the person directly but to read about their time period and the political and philosophical movements of their era.
