AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Sister Elizabeth Kenny (1880-1952) has been described variously as 'one of the ten greatest Australians' and, in 1942 in the 'New York Sun', as the world's 'Outstanding Woman of the Year'. In 1951, the United States Gallup Poll listed her as the world's 'Most Admired Woman'. Such accolades, indeed in some instances adulation, were the result of her unrelenting advocacy for a personal and controversial system of nursing and physiotherapy management of victims of poliomyelitis.'
