BOOKS & ARTICLES TO READ

South African nursing history made it into the Grade 5 curriculum: a short history of Cecilia Makiwane.

Baker, P; de Vos, J; Edwards,M & Swanepoel,G. 2012. Cape Town, Platinum English first additional language reader. Maskew Miller Longman page 39.

Unfortunately it contains an error: Cecilia Makiwane was born on 30 November 1879 and died on the 2nd of February 1919 (remembered.co.za/cecilia-makiwane-550) - at 39 years of age. The statement that she nursed for 50 years is therefore inaccurate.

Brush, BL & Lynaugh, JE (editors). 1999. Nurses of All Nations, a history of the International Council of Nurses 1899-1999. Philadelphia, Lippincott pages 129, 137-138, 151-153.

This book was issued in celebration of the centennial of the ICN. It contains a discussion about the South African Nursing Association (SANA) and its withdrawal from the ICN in 1973.

This book has a chapter dedicated to Professor Charlotte Searle's mother, Marguerite (Magriet) Pietersen: "Heroes of South Africa" by Ken Anderson, published in 1964. Does anybody have a copy?
