Nurses working for the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service in New York City took these snapshots, which show their lives and the lives of the families they cared for in the 1930s.
“Miss Sheehan”
Miss Sheehan reads the headline of the New York Herald Tribune book section: “The Lady of Henry Street: Lillian D. Wald.”
This is probably a review of Wald’s autobiography Windows on Henry Street.
Although Lillian Wald had retired by the 1930s, the Gun Hill nurses continued to recognize her historic role as a founder of public health nursing.
