Volume 2 of the 'Life of Clara Barton' continues the story of the pioneering American nurse and founder of the American Red Cross. The book chronicles Barton's efforts to establish and lead the organization, her travels in the latter part of her life, and the work she did outside of the US to assist other countries in need. Barton's tireless dedication to humanitarian work and her advocacy for civil rights are inspiring and provide a valuable historical perspective on the development of healthcare and social welfare programs in the United States and abroad.
