She Came to Slay: The Life and Times of Harriet Tubman
by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
16/02/2020
4.5 stars
During my schoolyears, I never learned anything about the Civil-war or the underground railroad. I don't know why, but I know that a lot of people in Europe (I'm from Belgium) never really learn anything about it in highschool. A couple of years ago I saw something about the civil-war, and decided to look up what the hell that was all about. That's how I stumbled upon the stories revolving around the underground railroad, and Harriet Tubman. So here I am, learning more and more about all the incredible people risking their lives to save their brothers and sisters, or saving slaves that escaped.
Harriet Tubman was an amazing woman, that accomplished so much in her life. I have nothing but respect for her, the more I learn about her. I will say that I didn't always enjoy the writing style, it felt a bit monotone at times. Listening to the book made it easier to ignore that.
