520			_a"The White Linen Nurse" by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Rae Malgregor, a young nursing student, who is on the brink of graduation and grapples with her identity, personal aspirations, and the expectations of her profession. The narrative explores themes of femininity, self-identity, and the societal pressures faced by women, particularly in care-giving roles. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to Rae Malgregor as she reflects upon the exhausting and often confining nature of her nursing training. She struggles with maintaining a "noble expression" that her profession demands while longing to express her true self, complete with its flaws and emotions. Through her interactions with her classmates, such as the more pragmatic Zillah Forsyth and the composed Helene Churchill, Rae voices her internal conflicts about love and career choices, feeling the weight of societal expectations. The opening chapters paint her as a relatable character facing the tensions between professional duty and personal desires, setting the stage for her journey of self-discovery.
