In 1898, Florence Nightingale wrote a book on nursing that was titled, Notes on Nursing: What It Is, and What It is Not. The book not only discussed the humanitarian aspects of nursing, but presented the argument that women are equal to men. She wrote, "You do not want the effect of your good things to be, 'How wonderful for a woman!' nor would you be deterred from good things by hearing it said, 'Yes, but she ought not to have done this, because it is not suitable for a woman.' But you want to do the thing that is good, whether it is 'suitable for a woman' or not.
