Florence Nightingale, a strong and determined woman ahead of her time, was greatly influential in her life-long efforts toward making significant improvements in the medical field. To better understand how Florence Nightingale became instrumental in improving health standards and hospital conditions, it is important to understand her upbringing and where her interests began. She was born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820 while her parents, who were from England, were vacationing (Gorrell 4-5). Since Nightingale’s father was well-educated and wanted the same for his daughter, she was homeschooled by private tutors and studied history, math, and several languages (Gill 93-97).

Clinton’s speech to the UN World Conference on Women seems to be a perfectly tailored audience for her message, and that audience can heed her call to action if her speech inspires them.
The history of ballet began in Italy during the Renaissance. Here, court ballet was a compilation of the arts: dancing, music, painting and poetry. Social court dances became popular, and powerful Italian families, including the de Medici family, tried to outdo others by having elaborate court dances.
