Harriet Tubman - Women in Exploration

Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and political activist. She guided hundreds of enslaved people to freedom as a “conductor” of the Underground Railroad. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped to freedom in 1849. During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a spy for the Union Army. She served as a military leader, and was the first woman to lead an armed military expedition in the United States. In later years, Tubman fought for women’s suffrage and the rights of the formerly enslaved.
