Major Barbara Undershaft Timeline and Summary

  • Barbara starts out super idealistic and enthusiastic about her job at the Salvation Army. Also, she seems to be quite good it.
  • She becomes disillusioned when the Army's financial troubles translate into their accepting money from her father (an arms dealer) and a whisky distiller named Bodger. In her despair, she relinquishes her Army badge to her father, wondering if she'll ever even be able to pray again.
  • After seeing the family factory and chatting more with her dad and the others, she comes around to the belief that she can still do a lot of good, even while recognizing the necessity of working with men like her father.
