Description
Would you risk your life to help others?
Mary Seacole was a business person, writer, adventurer and nurse who lived over 150 years ago.
She is best remembered for her bravery and kindness. She used her own money to set up a special place she called ‘The British Hotel’ in the middle of a war in Crimea (which is now in Ukraine). Here she put her own life in danger to help wounded soldiers. The people she helped called her ‘Mother Seacole’.
