    THANK YOU SO MUCH! I absolutely adore Mary Seacole, she’s so legendary, and as a student nurse (whose university building is named after her), it is so lovely to finally have someone recognise how amazing this woman was despite having spent her life as a nurse largely in the shadow of Nightingale

    I was so excited when I saw the name Mary Seacole as I am half Jamaican myself I know of her and her great works, you as usual managed to add some things that was not aware of, I have dreamed of making a mosaic of her for many years but as the worlds biggest procrastinator that project has not yet come to fruition. There are so many points that you mentioned that would be food for long discussions with you, who knows maybe one day we shall get to talk about it. Thank you so much Georgia, once again you have enriched my soul with your well researched history videos. Good luck in your new home❤

    What a woman born before her times! She showed more "balls" than anyone I know. Her story is a testament to overcoming bias and circumstances to achieve goals of purity and true selflessness. As always you told this very important story with enthusiasm and vigor which promotes the hearer into the heart of the times and motives of this incredible woman. Thank you for your efforts, so perfected and welcome.

  • @roguetamlin

    I have gotten the sense from various sources that Florence Nightingale was a bit prissy and sensitive to the image of nurses because of a perception of nurses as camp followers. This is not to say that racism wasn't an issue for Florence, but her real focus with Mary was that she was undermining "orderly" nursing.

    • @fredneecher1746
      @fredneecher1746 4 года назад

      Yes, and also there was a distinct class bias. Having read The Wonderful Life of Mrs Seacole, it is clear that racism was simply not an issue in her life, although her being a foreigner messing in Britain's home concerns probably was. Her (tenuous) connection to Florence Nightingale was only during her brief Crimean days. Mrs Seacole had a rich life beyond that particular war.

    Would just like to suggest Fanny Adams for a future video. I randomly looked up the origin of the term 'sweet Fanny Adams' and was fascinated to learn she was a real child who was tragically murdered. The origin of the phrase is quite frankly dispicable. But it would be really interesting to learn more.

    You are projecting perceptions from today back into Mrs Seacole's time. She did not see herself as "powerful . . . regardless of the colour of her skin". She was simply a determined and adventurous woman. Questions of skin colour were incidental to her (as they were to most people at that time). Far more important was nationality. The London street boys were making cheeky comments about someone who was obviously different to the usual Londoner - mainly her hair. This was an age long before the modern obsession with racism" was invented.
