As the most famous \u201cconductor\u201d on the Underground Railroad, escaped slave Harriet Tubman earned the nickname \u201cMoses of her People\u201d for leading scores of men, women, and children from bondage to freedom in the North. During the Civil\r\n War, she worked as a nurse for wounded soldiers, a caretaker of refugee slaves, and a spy and scout for Union forces. Late in life she was active in the fight for women\u2019s suffrage.<\/p>\r\n

Mythologized by many biographers and historians, Tubman was an ordinary but complex woman\u2015tiny but strong, guided by her belief in God and religious visions, yet a tough, savvy leader who the radical abolitionist John Brown admired\r\n as \u201cthe General.\u201d In 2016, it was announced that Tubman would become the first woman to appear on US currency\u2015the $20 bill\u2015in over a century.<\/p>\r\n

Drawing on the latest historical research, Harriet Tubman For Beginners<\/em> portrays a woman who resisted and transcended slavery and fought injustice her entire life. Beyond legend, she made her mark on history by defending\r\n core American principles\u2015life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness\u2015for others.<\/p>\r\n
