Stimson is a collection of letters written during World War I. The book provides a personal and poignant account of Stimson's experiences as the Chief Nurse of an American Army Unit in a British hospital in France, capturing the challenges and emotions faced by nurses on the front lines. The letters likely reflect life in the early 20th century, a period marked by the upheaval of global conflict and the unique role of women in wartime service. The opening of the book introduces Stimson's mobilization to France in May 1917, detailing her preparations and the urgency of the situation as her unit is quickly assembled and dispatched. Through her letters, she conveys her sense of honor and responsibility as the Chief Nurse, addressing the logistical challenges of organizing her team and expressing empathy for the soldiers they will care for. Stimson's descriptions reflect her excitement and nerves about the upcoming task, as well as her observations on the strong camaraderie among her nurses, the support from the local community, and the emotional weight of their mission amidst the backdrop of war.
