Sandi Toksvig’s Women from History

Did you know that Florence Nightingale was described by soldiers not as "the lady with the lamp", but "the lady with the hammer": a force to be reckoned with when defending the medical supply cabinet, she was a statistician, writer, social reformer and the founder of modern nursing. Sandi Toksvig tells you a little bit more than you probably know already about the women behind the history of medicine - with special guests Maxine Peake and Emma Dabiri.
