- Mary Jane Seacole (1805 – 14 May 1881), sometimes known as Mother Seacole or Mary Grant, was a Jamaican-born British nurse best known for her involvement in the Crimean War. She set up and operated boarding houses in Panama and Crimea to assist in her desire to treat the sick. Seacole was taught herbal remedies and folk medicine by her mother, who kept a boarding house for disabled European soldiers and sailors. Confident that her knowledge of tropical medicine could be useful, and after hearing of poor medical provisions for wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, she travelled to London to volunteer as a nurse. Relying on her experience in the Caribbean, she applied to the War Office and asked to be sent as an army assistant to the Crimea. She was refused, mainly because of prejudice against women's involvement in medicine at the time. The British Government later decided to permit women to travel to the affected area, but she was not included in the party of 38 nurses chosen by Florence Nightingale. Instead, she borrowed money to make the 4,000-mile (about 6500 km) journey by herself. She distinguished herself treating battlefield wounded, often nursing wounded soldiers from both sides while under fire. When the conflict ended in 1856 she found herself stranded and almost destitute, and was only saved from adversity by friends from the Crimean War who organised a benefit concert. In later years, she expressed a desire to work in India after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, but was unable to raise the necessary funds. Seacole was lauded in her lifetime, alongside Florence Nightingale, but after her death she was forgotten for almost a century. Today, she is noted for her bravery and medical skills and as "a woman who succeeded despite the racial prejudice of influential sections of Victorian society". Her autobiography, Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857), is a vivid account of her experiences, and is one of the earliest autobiographies of a mixed-race woman.
- メアリ・ジェーン・シーコール（Mary Jane Seacole、1805年 — 1881年5月14日）はヴィクトリア時代のイギリスで活躍したジャマイカ出身のクレオール女性で、看護師。 パナマ及びクリミアにおいて、母親から受け継いだ薬草の知識と伝統療法を用いて疾病の看護をおこなう傍ら宿を経営していたが、クリミア戦争における戦場医療の惨状を耳にし、自身の能力を活かせるだろうと考え、ボランティアの看護師として志願するため単身ロンドンへ赴いた。しかしながら、コレラの治療をはじめとした豊富な看護経験があったにもかかわらず、フローレンス・ナイチンゲール率いる看護師集団への参加は拒否された。 そのためシーコールは自身で旅費を工面し戦場へ向かい、前線における負傷者の扱いが余りにひどいことに衝撃を受けた。ナイチンゲールの看護師団は後方基地と野戦病院のあったスクタリを中心として活動していたのに対し、シーコールは前線へ赴き、戦火の中にあって敵味方隔てなく多くの負傷者を救った。 この行動は当時の人々から賞賛を受けたが、ナイチンゲールとは対照的に、その死後は人々の記憶から消えてしまった。その業績が再評価されるようになるのは、その死からおよそ百年後のことであった。今日シーコールは、日本での知名度は極めて低いものの、その勇気と医療技術が評価されるのみならず、人種的偏見の根強かったヴィクトリア朝イギリスにおいてその苦難に耐えたクレオール女性の一人として語られている。 1857年に出版された口述筆記によるシーコールの自伝は、混血の女性のものとしては最初期の自伝とされている。
- Mary Jane Seacole – opiekunka chorych i rannych żołnierzy w czasie wojny krymskiej. Matka Mary Seacole była czarnoskórą kobietą, a ojciec szkockim oficerem służącym na Jamajce. Matka uczyła Mary leczenia afrykańskich chorób, dlatego była nazywana "lekarką z Jamajki". W roku 1854, gdy wybuchła wojna krymska i wojska brytyjskie wysłano do walki z Cesarstwem Rosyjskim, Mary postanowiła wyjechać do Anglii, by przyłączyć się do grupy sióstr Miłosierdzia organizowanej przez Florence Nightingale, ale nie mogła być przyjęta z powodu koloru skóry. Dlatego popłynęła na Krym za własne pieniądze i otworzyła tam sklep, gdzie pomagała rannym i chorym żołnierzom. Po wojnie żołnierze zebrali fundusz, by uratować ją z nędzy.
- Mary Jane Seacole var en jamaikanskfödd brittisk sjuksköterska som utmärkte sig för sin hängivenhet och sitt mod i omtänksamheten om trupperna i Krimkriget. Hennes biografi, The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands gavs ut år 1857 och beskrev skildrande hennes liv och upplevelser. Seacole har kallats den "svarta Florence Nightingale", vars jobb i att organisera sjukhuset vid Scutari har överskuggat Seacoles i senare minne.

- She gave her aid to all in need
To hungry, sick and cold
Open hand and heart, ready to give
Kind words, and acts, and gold
And now the good soul is "in a hole"
What soldier in all the land
To set her on her feet again
Won't give a helping hand?
