Quote from Clara Barton



Quote:

“I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.”

- Clara Barton 1821-1912 (Founder of the Red Cross, and nurse during the Civil War)


I think this quote represents Clara Barton, because she nursed soldiers during the war and helped the wounded to get through the tough times. She was a great person and wasn't afraid to face challenges in her life, as she did before other men let her on the battlefield to make use of her medical skill. I think she is resilient because she stood up for what she thought was right (furthering women's rights) and fed and cared for others throughout her entire life!

Good job Katie & Danika! Your blog posts are very informative and have a lot of good information. The blog layout is simple and easy to read.
I can't think of anything you could change except for the blog title, you should probably make the title so that it includes both Lynn Grady and Clara Barton. Otherwise, good job! Keep up the good work and the informative posts!
