Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, but later escaped. She was a major force in the Underground Railroad, making trips to aid at least 70 other slaves. During the Civil War, she worked as a cook and nurse, then eventually a spy for the Union Army. She also became active in women's suffrage in her later years.
