Series: Who Was?

Clara Barton proved that even shy people can do brave things! Take a closer look at the farm girl who bravely nursed soldiers during the Civil War and who went on to found the American Red Cross.

Clarissa ""Clara"" Barton was a shy girl who grew up to become a teacher, nurse, and humanitarian. At a time when few women worked outside the home, she became the first woman to hold a government job, as a patent clerk in Washington, DC. In 1864, she was appointed ""lady in charge"" of the hospitals at the front lines of the Union Army, where she became known as the ""Angel of the Battlefield."" Clara Barton built a career helping others. She went on to found the American Red Cross, one of her greatest accomplishments, and one of the most recognized organizations in the world.
