Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale:
Florence Nightingale (/ˈnaɪtɪŋɡeɪl/; 12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. She significantly reduced death rates by improving hygiene and living standards. Nightingale gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of "The Lady with the Lamp" making rounds of wounded soldiers at night [continues].
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Ridley_Havergal:
Frances Ridley Havergal (14 December 1836 – 3 June 1879) was an English religious poet and hymnwriter.
