Jennifer Louise Worth RN RM was a British memoirist, nurse, and midwife. She worked in the poverty-stricken East End of London in the 1950s, where she gained much of her experience that would later shape her writing. Drawing on these experiences, she wrote a best-selling trilogy: Call the Midwife (2002), Shadows of the Workhouse (2005) and Farewell to The East End (2009). After leaving her career in nursing, Worth re-trained as a musician.
