Women were allowed to be nurses in the mid-19th century, with significant milestones occurring during the Crimean War (1853-1856) when Florence Nightingale established nursing as a respected profession for women. Prior to this, nursing was often seen as a role for untrained women or a continuation of domestic duties. The establishment of formal nursing schools, such as the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1860, further solidified women’s roles in the profession. By the late 19th century, nursing had become an accepted and recognized career for women.
