Hello Nursing Clio readers!
I would encourage everyone to head on over to the blog Wayward Women. There you will find the original source to the story we included on Edwardian female drunks. Apparently her work has been ripped off by various news sources and they are not properly attributing her as the original source – an academic’s worst nightmare! Anyway, here is the original source:
