Abstract
Donnelly talks about Lavinia Dock and why her words are particularly relevant today. Dock--nurse, community health advocate, suffragette, author of the first nursing textbook, and historian--is a role model for the ages. Educated at Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing in New York in 1884, Dock worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, and at the Henry Street Settlement in New York where she claims she first learned to think through her association with Lillian Wald, the founder of Henry Street and the community health nursing movement. Dock cared for immigrants in the tenements of New York City where she learned the deep relationship between health states and the way people live.
