Harriet Tubman recounts the life of the woman who escaped slavery in Maryland and repeatedly returned south to guide relatives and other freedom seekers to safety. It explains the operation and risks of the Underground Railroad while placing Tubman’s work within wider Black abolitionist networks.

During the Civil War she served the Union as a nurse, scout and intelligence operative and helped lead the Combahee River Raid, which liberated hundreds of enslaved people. The biography also follows her post-war advocacy for veterans, formerly enslaved communities and women’s suffrage.
