She founded the American Red Cross in 1881, which fits perfectly with the clue which also spells out her surname.

Clara expanded the Red Cross’ mission beyond wartime aid, focusing on peacetime disasters such as floods, famines, and earthquakes, broadening the scope of humanitarian aid provided by the organization.

‘Red Cross founder Barton’ NYT Mini Crossword difficulty rating

I am familiar with the Red Cross organization but didn’t know much about its founder, so I had to solve the crossword to find the answer. 

However, if you’re good with your history lessons and know the name, the clue has her surname, making it a bit easier for people to narrow down their guesses and find the right answer. So, I’d give it a four out of five for difficulty.
