Led by the compᴀssionate and dedicated Nurse Jenny Lee (played by Jessica Raine in the early seasons), the series follows the personal and professional lives of these women as they deliver babies, care for mothers, and navigate the hardships of working in a poor, overcrowded community. The show emphasizes not only the physical challenges of childbirth but also the emotional and societal issues that women face during this time period.
