Excellent book. These nurses worked as hard as they could to advance, to take care of the most contagious patients, to help determine ways to treat...and cure TB. They were the front line of care, and keeping track of what worked and didn't work. Meanwhile they were dealing with segregation and racism in their education, their work place, their dining choices, their ability to find housing and buy housing. It is recent history. It is important.
