Lavinia Dock

Lavinia Dock

Lavinia Lloyd Dock (1858-1956) was a nurse, author, pioneer in nursing education and social activist. Her books included a four volume history of nursing and what was for many years a standard nurse's manual of drugs.

After her retirement from nursing, her activities included membership in the National Woman's Party, led by Alice Paul. Under Paul's leadership, Dock campaigned for woman suffrage by picketing the White House in 1917, and was jailed for doing so.
