I hadn't heard of her but I will follow up and find out more. I first became interested in nursing after reading a book called,Birth As an American Rite of Passage by Robbie E. Davies-Floyd. But, got sidtracked and finished my BA, had a few jobs...now I am back at square one applying to accelerated BSN programs for this fall. Are there any specific books that combiine nursing and anthropology that you could suggest?
