En 1854, Florence Nightingale part soigner les soldats britanniques à Scutari (aujourd'hui Üsküdar, à Istanbul) pendant la guerre de Crimée. L'hôpital est sale ; les soldats meurent plus des infections que de leurs blessures. Elle impose l'hygiène, et la nuit elle fait sa ronde avec une lampe : on la surnomme the Lady with the Lamp. Elle utilise aussi les statistiques pour convaincre le gouvernement, puis fonde une école d'infirmières à Londres en 1860. Grammaire : who pour les personnes, which pour les choses.
