Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honoured women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed(雇用) by the government.
Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognised that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learnt how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul

Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night—her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learnt about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organisation for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as leader of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

She was born to wealth and power in a time when money and politics were left to the men.Later，as the publisher of The Washington Post(华盛顿邮报), Katharine Graham became one of America’s most powerful women.
Katharine loved journalism and got a job after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933.At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a lawyer who became her husband.Then, in 1945, Katharine’s father chose Phil to take over his paper.Katharine didn’t object(反对) and stayed at home as a wife and mother.
While Phil succeeded in his career, he also suffered from severe depression.When Phil committed suicide(自杀), the 46yearold Katharine found herself thrown into a new job, that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine met the challenge of running the Post, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics(批评家), and becoming the very famous woman of Washington.
In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers(五角大楼文件), the topsecret papers revealing the truth about the Vietnam War. What’s more，her brave decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate(水门事件)．Katharine managed to control the most disordered situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be true and fair. Watergate made The Washington Post an internationally famous paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
