Lyle Creelman: The Frontiers of Global Nursing

‘This well documented book is suitable for wide range of readers. Recommended. All academic and general history of nursing collections.’ D.B. Hamilton, Choice Magazine vol 52:01:2014

‘Armstrong-Reid has delivered a valuable new social biography on Lyle Creelman… Those interested in nursing history, the history of medicine, and the intersections of world history and global health will certainly find it useful.’

Sasha Mullally, Canadian Historical Review vol 97:01:2016

“Susan Armstrong-Reid has written a fascinating biography of an exceptional Canadian.  Lyle Creelman was an international leader in the transformation of public health in the twentieth century who deserves to be much better known.  Thanks to this well-researched and clearly written biography, her contributions to the history of nursing are now understood.”

John English, Director, Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, University of Toronto

“Lyle Creelman: The Frontiers of Global Nursing is not only a biography of an important and interesting woman, but also a source of extensive and insightful analytic comment on transcultural nursing, gender politics, and development of health care globally.”

Glennis Zilm, School of Nursing, University of British Columbia

“As Susan Armstrong-Reid rightfully argues, a biography of Lyle Creelman and her central role in the development of international nursing is long overdue. Lyle Creelman: The Frontiers of Global Nursing deepens our understanding of the nature of global health policy and the complexity of a global health care system and will appeal to historians of health history, women’s history, nursing history, and medical history, as well as scholars analysing international relations and global health.”
