Wonderful ​Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands - by Mary Seacole

Mary Seacole was a Jamaican woman, trained in medicine by her doctor mother. She wanted to join Florence Nightingale in nursing soldiers during the Crimean War, but she was not accepted. So instead, she traveled to the front on her own and put up an inn where she made food and sold drinks, and regularly walked to the trenches to tend to the wounded.
