Clara Barton, 1904.
Founder of the American Red Cross. (Swipe 👉🏻 to see original!)
Born in 1821, her love of nursing began when at 10 years old she looked after her brother when he fell from a barn roof. She learned how to use leeches and continued to care for him long after doctors withdrew care. He went on to make a full recovery. With the outbreak of the American civil war Barton wanted to help her country and went to railroad stations to care for injured soldiers returning home. This developed to her nursing on the battle fields, with one incident of a bullet grazing her arm and killing the man next to her. Post war she campaigned heavily for an American branch of the Red Cross, hosting their first official meeting at her apartment in Washington DC in May 1881. She continued in this role until 1904 at the age of 83, and eventually died in her home at the age of 90. #1904
