Another way McAauley and Nightingale are similar is that both belonged to wealthy families and could enjoy a luxurious life yet they chose to help others and spent their lives in a simple manner. In the During the Victorian era, women were not expected to work as much as they are doing right now. Also, the women who had a rich family background would not go out to do Jobs. Nightingale, on the other hand, chose to be a nurse. At the age of 16, she decided to become a nurse as she would say “God is calling me out to do something important for his poor creation”. Instead of getting married and lying-in bed all the time like a typical woman of that time, Florence dedicated her whole life to nursing. While on the other hand, Catherine spent her total money on helping poor women who were subjected to obey their owners or masters.
