Abstract ' Black Angels. A little-known story about nurses who helped cure tuberculosis, Maria Smilios this amazing true story unfolds from the Great Depression to the post-war period and tells the story of fearless young women who were later called "Black Angels". For twenty years, they risked their lives working in appalling conditions, caring for the poorest TB patients in New York who were waiting to die or becoming guinea pigs for experimental surgeries and often lethal drugs. Despite their key role in the desegregation of the New York hospital system and the important work of finding a cure for tuberculosis at Sea View Hospital, nurses are often forgotten. Maria Smilios restores the voices of these extraordinary women and puts them at the center of a fascinating story based on real events. About the book Maria Smilios is an American writer and researcher who carefully combines facts, history, and human destinies in her work. Her book " Black Angels. A little-known story about nurses who helped cure tuberculosis" opens a page of history that has long been hushed up. This is a detailed story about female nurses from the southern United States who worked at Sea View Hospital on Staten Island in the late 1920s and mid-20th century. They became the invisible heroines in the fight against a deadly disease, when most doctors refused to approach infected patients. The book immerses you in the events that took place at a time when tuberculosis claimed the lives of thousands of people every day, and the hope of salvation seemed illusory. Through the stories of Edna Sutton, Americus, and other "Black Angels," Smilios shows how courage and the pursuit of dignity overcame fear and prejudice. Next to them are doctors who are fighting for the discovery of drugs that will later change medicine. The author gradually reveals to the reader the reality of life in Sea View: difficult conditions, racial inequality, constant risk of infection and at the same time – dedication to a profession that keeps people on the edge of their capabilities. The book " Black Angels. A little-known story about nurses who helped cure tuberculosis" by Maria Smilios is published in Ukrainian by the publishing house "#knigolav".
