Summary by Carolyn Ivanoff:
My name is Clara Barton. Many of you will know my name as a nurse in the Civil War. The Angel of the battlefield. But that's only a part of my story. By the time of my death in 1912, my life's work would touch millions of people world-wide and continues to do so. I was born into and lived in Victorian America, where a woman's place was limited to her home. Women did not have many legal rights and did not have careers. Few women worked outside their homes. Although I was a woman in a man's world, during my lifetime I had several careers, any one of which would have brought a man fame and perhaps fortune. I earned and enjoyed the fame and glory that was showered on me and I used it to support and further my work. My life's work was all important and it touched the lives of millions. If you have ever received the care of a trained female nurse, if you have ever given or received a blood donation, if you have participated in or donated to relief efforts to help people who have been brutalized by natural disasters or war, if you have participated in a first aid course or have a first aid kit in your home, office, car or boat, if your community has an ambulance corps--- then my life's work has touched your life and this is my story.
