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’.

Look closely at Mary Seacole’s portrait and find out why she was so special.
