Autorenporträt
Clarissa Harlowe Barton, also known as Clara Barton, was born on December 25, 1821, in North Oxford, Massachusetts. She was an American nurse, teacher, and founder of the American Red Cross. Barton served as a hospital nurse during the American Civil War, and despite the lack of formal nursing education at the time, she provided self-taught nursing care. Her experience in the war and her compassion for those in need led her to establish the American Red Cross, which became a significant organization for disaster relief and humanitarian aid. In addition to her nursing work, she was also a teacher and a patent clerk. Clara Barton s leadership in the field of disaster relief was crucial in shaping the development of relief organizations in the United States. She passed away on April 12, 1912, at the age of 90 in Glen Echo, Maryland. Barton was the daughter of Sarah and Stephen Barton and had several siblings, including Stephen Barton, Sarah Barton Vassall, Dorothea Barton, and David Barton. Her legacy remains a powerful symbol of selflessness and dedication to service.
