Harriet Tubman was great woman. This is why and this is her story. Araminta Ross (Harriet Tubman) was born on 1822 in Dorchester County, MD. When she was 6, she got her first job doing weaving with a couple that was very harsh. She was beaten frequently if she slacked at her job. When she turned 11, she wore a bright cotton bandana around her head indicating she wasn’t considered a child no more. She had a rough time when she young.
While being a teenager during slavery, she was in hands of a horrible man. Araminta suffered a life long injury called narcolepsy, a chronic sleeping disorder.

After she escaped, she reunited with her father which was freed from slavery at the age 45.
