Yet, they are frequently left out of the historical record. Histories of nursing have often focused on an institution or organisation. Few look at nursing work across a single geographical region; even fewer consider a non-metropolitan context. This book traces the various modes of nursing work available during the first half of the 20th century in a specific region of Australia: Central Queensland. It analyses nurses and their work within the broader social and political contexts of whiteness and welfare, and considers how these influenced the evolution of nursing services: who the nurses were, where they worked, and what factors affected their work. This analysis should be of interest to nurses seeking to understand their past a little better; and to social historians seeking to uncover the place of women working in health industries.
