Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and social activist who was born into slavery. She escaped but spent the next ten years rescuing approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends using the Underground Railroad. But because she is a badass woman, that is not all she did. During the Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army and later was an activist in the women's suffrage movement.
Lynn tells us about Jaha Dukureh, a Gambian women's right activist and anti-female genital mutilation campaigner. Dukureh was subjected to female genital mutilation in The Gambia when she was a little more than a week old.
