Abstract
Abstract During the early 1960s, one of the most illustrious nurses in the world served at the presidential helm of the National League for Nursing. She was the charismatic Lucile Petry Leone, a woman of enormous drive and talent, who began her official tenure at the League at the outset of what probably became organized nursing's most productive yet controversial decade. Long before that period, Petry already could claim a number of accomplishments, having moved gracefully up the career ladder after graduating in 1929 from the Johns Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing (1).
