Introduction

Mary Seacole: The Real Angel Of The Crimea details the extraordinary life of the Caribbean-born nurse Mary Seacole. It traces her footsteps from her birthplace, Jamaica, to Victorian England and on to the Crimea, where she became famous for her pioneering work in caring for British troops. The programme examines the nature of her 'miraculous' remedies and reveals why they were so effective. It also explores the dark days that followed Seacole's return to London, impoverished and alone. It then charts her resurgence, when the very soldiers whose lives she had saved rallied around to rescue her. Why was Mary Seacole, a woman of such prominence during her lifetime, so swiftly forgotten after her death?
