Clara Barton faced numerous challenges throughout her career:
Gender Barriers: During her time, nursing was not a widely recognized profession, and women often faced significant barriers in the medical field. War Conditions: Working on the battlefield exposed Barton to extreme danger, including gunfire, disease, and harsh conditions. Funding and Supplies: Securing necessary supplies and funding for her nursing efforts was a constant struggle. She often relied on her own resources and donations from the public.
