  • Story:
    In 1898, a lesser-known chapter of the Spanish-American War unfolded on the shores of Cuba, where a woman known as Clara Barton led an unexpected mission. Clara, the founder of the American Red Cross, defied social norms of her time by bringing nurses to the front lines to tend to wounded soldiers. What many didn’t realize was that this wasn’t just a battle for independence; it was also a struggle against yellow fever and malaria, diseases that ravaged troops more than the enemy's bullets. Clara’s team faced immense challenges, as diseases swept through camps while supplies dwindled. During a pivotal moment, Clara discovered that a group from her hometown, who joined the fight, were trapped and suffering. With fierce resolve, she organized a daring rescue operation. Under enemy fire, they infiltrated the site, proving the extraordinary roles women played in conflict. Clara's efforts not only saved lives but also shifted perceptions about women's contributions in wars, marking the dawn of organized humanitarian efforts in modern conflicts.
