Born into slavery, Harriet Tubman was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian. She escaped slavery and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved families and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and secret safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
She was an active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage in the post-war era.
She died on March 10, 1913 in Auburn, New York.
