A force to be reckoned with; Harriet Tubman was a nurse, scout, and
advisor during the American Civil War. Harriet co-led the Combahee River
Raid, in which 700 slaves were freed. After the war, she continued with
her revolutionary plights and became involved in the fight that allowed
women the right to vote, and opened a retirement home for sick and
elderly African Americans.
