Synopsis
Excerpt from Glimpses of My Life in Aran, Vol. 1: Some Experiences of a District Nurse in These Remote Islands, Off the West Coast of Ireland
This little work has two aims, one of which is to give my professional sisters, and others who may be interested, some idea of the difficulties attached to nursing, and the hardships connected with maternity work, in one of the loneliest and most isolated districts in the West of Ireland: the other, to describe in outline a few of the customs of the people amongst whom this work must be carried on.
I have been asked to write some account of my life, to give some impressions; the incidents herein set down are more than mere impressions, but still only sufficient to afford a bare glimpse of days and years of labour spent amongst these rocks and wilds.
