The life story of Harriet Tubman-escaped slave, abolitionist, and champion of women' s rights-in graphic novel format. Harriet Tubman: Fighter for Freedom! tells the inspiring story of a woman who not only escaped from slavery in 1849 but also risked her life to return to the American South in order to free others from bondage. This biography, told in graphic novel format, presents Tubman' s life in detail: her childhood on a Maryland plantation, her work with the Underground Railroad to help slaves escape to freedom, and her years as a champion of women' s rights. With colorful illustrations and historically accurate text, this entertaining account of Tubman' s life will inspire a new generation of readers with the true story of one of America' s greatest national heroes.
