I had read part of Malka's very long dissertation when I found this 2007 book (which is a distillation of the dissertation). Both publications cover an important subject - the impact of the women's movement of the 1960s on nursing. I've been researching this for a PhD comprehensive exam essay on a related topic and there are not too many sources on this. I did find Leighow's 1996 Nurses' Questions/Women's Questions also helpful. But Malka's book focuses more intently on the impact of the movement on nursing education and theory. She traces the changes to nursings more recent searches for a unique identity and area of autonomous practice. I'm definitely going to recommend that our History of Medicine collection at the University of Rochester acquire this title. It seems to me (a non-nurse) to be a valid contribution to the history of this period, and represents an area not comprehensively discussed in the nursing literature that I've surveyed.
