Summary "A Noble Woman: The Life-Story of Edith Cavell" by Ernest Protheroe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book chronicles the life of Edith Cavell, a British nurse who played a significant role during World War I, particularly in her courageous acts to save soldiers and refugees. Through her story, the text explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of adversity. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Edith Cavell's early life, detailing her upbringing as the daughter of a rector and her decision to pursue a career in nursing. The opening emphasizes her commitment to her profession and her dedication to improving nursing standards, especially in Belgium, where she eventually became the matron of a medical home. Importantly, the text foreshadows the challenges she would face due to the onset of World War I, as her hospital becomes a place where she chooses to facilitate the escape of soldiers, illustrating her courage and sense of duty even amidst great peril.
