Clara Barton’s greatest claim to fame was as founder of the American Red Cross, in 1881, after a career of organizing nursing services and field hospitals during the Civil War and running an agency after the war for locating missing soldiers!. She was also a respected and outspoken figure in her day in support of women’s rights and the civil rights of former slaves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She was doing something that was thought to be wrong at the time!. (Women were not supposed to be nurses for men because it was inappropriate)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She helped found the American chapter of the Red Cross!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
