Beschreibung
The Life of Clara Barton is a biography of Clarissa Barton, American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk. Since nursing education was not then very formalized and she did not attend nursing school, she provided self-taught nursing care. Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work and civil rights advocacy at a time before women had the right to vote. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1973. The book includes chapters on her childhood, ancestry, career as a teacher and involvement in the American Civil War.
