Abstract
Nineteenth century nursing schools as well as schools during the first half of the twentieth century had severe restrictions on the freedom of activity of their students. Students were required to live in nursing homes, be in their rooms at certain hours, dress in very restrictive uniforms and ever strive to be ladylike. Most of these requirements date to Florence Nightingale and were essentially nineteenth century methods to avoid the problems of sexual harassment.Keywords
