The amazing Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and returned to rescue 70 enslaved people, including her family, via the network of activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War she was the first woman to lead an armed military operation in the country, the raid on Combahee Ferry, in which over 700 slaves were freed.
To borrow from Shakespeare: "Though she was but little, she was fierce."
Carmen
