We meet many Marys – a West Indian nanny watching her charge on a Manhattan playground, a nursing school practicing triage, a contemporary nursing home, Mary on the Crimean battlefield, and everywhere and every-when else. MARYS SEACOLE is the tale of an extraordinary woman, chronicling the strength and empathy of all women through the centuries paid to care,
“MARYS SEACOLE is in many ways an act of remembrance for the unremembered … an exhortation to see both past and present better.” – Sara Holdren, Vulture
