Harriet is the English form of the French Henriette — from the Old Germanic haim (home) + ric (ruler). **Harriet Tubman (c. 1822-1913)** — **the formerly enslaved American abolitionist who personally led 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people via the Underground Railroad; later served as a Union Army scout and the first woman to lead an armed assault in the Civil War (the Combahee River Raid, 1863)**. **Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)** — **author of *Uncle Tom's Cabin* (1852), the second-best-selling book of the 19th century after the Bible**, which Lincoln credited with starting the Civil War.
Featured on the planned redesigned US $20 bill.
Harriet reduces to three — the number of home-ruler.
