title: [Two famous female nurses during the Crimean War].
abstract: During the Crimean War outbroken in 1854, there were massive death tolls due to delayed treatment of the injuries and shortage of battlefield medical workers. Nightingale, assigned by the government, and Mary Seacole, voluntarily went to the battlefield, to join the rescuing of the injured soldiers. These two nurses, with different family background and race, saved the lives of many injuries and patients. They were highly praised after the relevation by the media. The name of Nightingale was remembered by the later generations. Contrarily, that of the latter was forgotten. Historically, the deeds and contributions to nursing by Mary Seacole must be also respected similarly.
