Writings on the Nile

Joan Rees

By combining extracts from their most famous works and Rees’ insightful essays, this book illuminates the biographies of three remarkable women and evokes rediscovery of ancient Egypt. Harriet Martineau was a doughty and influential campaigner for multiple social causes; Florence Nightingale became a universally acclaimed reformer of nursing and hospital practices; Amelia Edwards, formerly a novelist and prolific professional writer, returned from Egypt to found the Egypt Exploration Society. All three were independent-minded women of strong character and exceptional gifts.
