In that spirit, Florence Nightingale,  a British nurse, and social reformer who is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing, deserves to be on this list. Born in 1820, she gained fame for her work during the Crimean War. She led a team of nurses and worked tirelessly to improve the sanitary conditions of military hospitals.
