Why Chosen
The Women is a compelling, accurate, and beautifully written historical fiction novel that paints a vivid picture of the intersection of nursing compassion and skill, the conflict of patriotism and the brutal realities of war, and being made to feel less than simply for being a woman. In a fictional snapshot of time, the author pays homage to the contributions of the nursing profession and women in our country; there has been much progress, yet still much work to be done.
