Photo: Mathew B. Brady, about 1865 (National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, CC0) · Albumen silver print of Clara Barton by Mathew B. Brady, about 1865, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution (accession NPG.2013.2; credit line 'acquired through the generosity of Elizabeth A. Hylton'), opened via the Wikimedia Commons file page, whose description states that the National Portrait Gallery 'has explicitly released this digital image under the CC0 license' and links the NPG object page. The NPG page itself could not be opened (bot-verification wall), so the CC0 statement is read from Commons quoting the institution; independently the photograph was made about 1865 by a photographer who died in 1896, so it is public domain by age in any case. The companion Commons record for the same object uses a public-domain-by-age tag, so no conflicting notice was found. Original file 2747 x 4529 (tight crop of a carte-de-visite style print with the sitter's name written above); saved downscaled only to 728 x 1200, not cropped.

핵심 특성
주요 업적
1881년 미국 적십자사를 창립해 1904년까지 이끌었으며, 그녀가 쓴 '미국 수정안'은 적십자의 구호를 전쟁에서 홍수·기근 같은 평시 재난으로 넓혔다.
남북전쟁이 시작되자 북군 병사들을 위한 보급품을 모아 전선으로 나르고 전선 가까이에서 부상병을 간호했으며, 1864년에는 제임스군 간호 감독관으로 임명되었다.
1865년 링컨의 허락을 얻어 실종 병사를 찾는 사무소를 세웠으며, 적십자사는 이 사무소가 2만 명이 넘는 병사를 가족과 다시 이어 주었다고 기록한다.
삶의 장면들
적십자 회장으로서 그녀는 모든 결정을 직접 내리고 모든 자금을 직접 지출한 것으로 전해지며, 충직한 직원들조차 사석에서 '여왕'이라 불렀다. 1904년 집행위원회 구성원들은 권위주의를 이유로 비판하며 그녀를 사임으로 몰아갔다.
이는 동료들과 권한을 나누는 데 어려움이 있었던 모습과 부합한다. 협업 성향
1873년 유럽에서 돌아온 뒤 그녀는 팸플릿, 강연, 헤이스 대통령과의 면담으로 수년간 활동했고, 1881년 미국 적십자사가 창립되고 1882년 제네바 협약에 가입했다.
이는 하나의 장기 목표를 향해 꾸준히 노력한 모습과 부합한다. 끈기
전환점
1861년 남북전쟁이 시작되자 그녀는 특허청 일을 그만두고 북군 병사들을 위한 보급품을 모아 전하기 시작했으며, 이는 40년 넘게 이어진 구호 활동의 출발점이 되었다.
이는 사무직을 떠나 스스로 구호 활동에 나선 주도적인 면과 부합한다. 선제적 행동력

- Geoffrey C. Ward, 'Queen Barton', American Heritage 39:3 (April 1988; americanheritage.com), read in full: a review essay on Elizabeth Brown Pryor's Clara Barton: Professional Angel, based on Barton's 35-volume diary. Credits her courage and resourcefulness at the front (for instance supplying tobacco and whiskey as well as bandages, and holding the operating table steady at Antietam), but reports that she exaggerated her wartime accounts, wrote a flattering biographical sketch of herself, made all decisions and dispensed all funds, was called 'the Queen' and 'the Great I Am' by her own staff, preferred assistants who were 'meek, patient, faithful', and in 1900-1904 faced dissidents led by Mabel Boardman who charged her with being egocentric, capricious and careless with finances; a Senate probe in 1904 'fully exonerated' her. A balanced popular-history review of a critical archival biography. The reviewer's remarks on her family, romance and spiritualism are not used.
- Linda Simon, 'Biography brings a secular saint down to earth', Christian Science Monitor (13 January 1988), read in full: a review of Pryor's Clara Barton: Professional Angel by a Harvard writing teacher, describing the biography as the first to 'ask sophisticated questions' of Barton and portraying her as steely, egotistical, hard-driving and often contentious, but crediting her masterful organising and fundraising and noting that detractors disputed her fiscal dealings; mentions her efforts to gain publicity for the Red Cross, which exasperated co-workers. The review's account of her depression and breakdowns is not used. Used as the independent critical counter-voice; Pryor's book itself was not opened.

A graduate-class exhibit; used only as a second, short account of the 1904 dispute.
