Black nurses are at the margins of the annals of history and there is a dearth of historical accounts of their work. Drawing on our historical research about Black nurses in British Columbia (Canada) between 1845 and 1910, we point to the complexity of Black women's lives and argue that Black nurses disrupted the conceptualization of Blackness and Black womanhood of the time. We demonstrate the vital contributions of Black nurses to the health of communities and add to existing scholarship that redefines the nursing narrative: one in which white nurses are not the start and end point of history.
黑人护士在历史记载中处于边缘地位，关于她们工作的历史记载也很少。本文通过对加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省（British Columbia）1845 年至 1910 年间黑人护士的历史研究，指出黑人妇女生活的复杂性，并认为黑人护士打破了当时对黑人及黑人女性的概念化。我们展示了黑人护士对社区健康的重要贡献，并补充了现有文献，重新定义了护理叙事：在这种叙事中，白人护士不是历史的起点和终点。
