Ladies Who London

Ep 11 - Waterloo - Florence Nightingale & Mary Seacole, women who changed the world


Listen Later

Welcome back, fellow London history fans! This week we are over in Waterloo, where Alex picked the formidable nursing duo of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole as joint topics. Although the two rarely ever met, they have the Crimean war in common, as both women took their skills over to the awful conditions in the war to help the soldiers. But they come from extremely different backgrounds. Join us to find out more about these two incredible women.

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal, and we spin the Wheel of Destiny to find out where we are going next!
