From the time she was a child, Harriet Tubman knew that she had to be free. After several attempts to steal herself away, she finally succeeded in escaping to the North - and that’s just the beginning of an inspirational true-life adventure story. Harriet went South and back dozens of times, eventually bringing over 300 people up to freedom. In addition, she worked as a nurse and a spy with the Union Army, and after the war, became a prominent voice for suffrage for American women.
