Two Women Who Made Christmas Healthier and Happier
Clara Barton and Emily P. Bissell helped create Red Cross driven health efforts and Christmas seals that funded tuberculosis work. Barton founded the American Red Cross after wartime relief and international aid. Bissell led Delaware and national campaigns to sell Christmas seals, raising funds for tuberculosis prevention and open air schools.
