What an astounding woman. I had never read of her, but I will never forget this freedom fighter. Slaves have always been a topic that interests me because of the mentality that someone must have to believe that they are ownership.

How can someone believe that they are owned? I have lived my life free for decades and I probably would be unable to change my mind into that of a slave. Perhaps this is the reason why I find slaves so fascinating.

And I find Harriet's mind even more fascinating: she came from a social circle that felt that they were "owned" and she was unable to accept that, just how many hundreds of thousands before her had accepted it without question.
