"Cecil Blanche Woodham-Smith was a British historian and biographer. She wrote four popular history books each dealing with a different aspect of the Victorian era. … Her first book as a historian a biography of Florence Nightingale published in 1950 took her straight to the top of her profession. Her meticulous research had taken nine years and the book succeeded in restoring Nightingale's reputation which had dwindled following Lytton Strachey's representation of her in Eminent Victorians. Acclaimed for its combination of scholarship and readability Florence Nightingale won the James Tait Black Award for biography." Wikip. MK McGraw-Hill, (1951). hardcover books
