Life history is a powerful methodology and framework to analyze and interpret events and changes in nursing's past. The life history and innovative leadership of Margaret Scott Wright, nurse leader first in the United Kingdom and then in Canada, illustrates how in the 1970s and 1980s nursing scholarship and research grew in importance. Through her personal recollections and supportive documentary evidence we can learn how nurses in the post-World War Two era
pioneered new roles in clinical nursing, education, and research. In the process they linked the three into new scholarly endeavors and academic nursing pursuits. The need for more and better educated nurses in post-war health care forged a stronger link between nursing and the university, generating new leaders in nursing scholarship and research. Margaret Scott Wright was one of the first among them.
