BIOGRAPHY READING/Clara Barton
Clara Barton is most famous for founding the American Red Cross. Beforeshe founded the organization, Barton helped wounded soldiers during the Civil War. She was also a great supporter of women’s suffrage and equal pay for equal work. Barton is probably best remembered for her heroism on the battlefield and for providing relief to soldiers and disaster victims when most needed.
Clara Barton was born on December 25, 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts. Her parents and older siblings taught her literature, math, and outdoor sports. Although she was very shy, Barton became a teacher.
In 1850 Barton enrolled at the Liberal Institute of Clinton, New York. She then went on to establish one of the first public schools in New Jersey. The school became so successful that the trustees no longer wanted a woman to run it. Barton, however, refused to work for a male principal. From 1854 to 1861 Barton worked for the U.S. Patent Office, where she encountered more discrimination in the form of hostility from her male co-workers. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Barton used her organizational skills to collect food and medical supplies for the men wounded at the Battle of Bull Run.	She was concerned about the lack of supplies and basic first aid, and was granted permission to travel through battle lines to search for missing soldiers, nurse wounded men, and bring badly needed supplies. Her heroic efforts and great personal sacrifices during the Civil War earned her the nickname Angel of the Battlefield. In 1869 Barton provided relief work during the Franco-Prussian War. 
While in Europe she learned of the formation of the International Red Cross and its activities. She returned to the United States in 1877, and in 1881 organized the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross provides aid during times of war, droughts, floods, outbreaks of disease, railway accidents, and other domestic disasters. 
Under Barton’s leadership, the organization responded to many disasters, such as the Johnstown flood in Pennsylvania, a forest fire in Michigan, an outbreak of yellow fever in Florida, and a hurricane in Galveston, Texas, in 1900. During Barton’s tenure as the head of the American Red Cross, some of her management practices came under criticism. 
She was finally forced to resign in 1904 when the federal government threatened to cut off funds to the organization. After her resignation, however, Barton   remained active and connected to the cause. She was planning to establish a Red Cross organization in Mexico at the time of her death in 1912, at the age of 91.
