When a woman lead says a lot more than it seems. I thought a lot about my feelings and views on this topic. The first woman to enter my mind was Harriet Tubman. This woman among many people who was a forced slave arose above not only her people but the people who enslaved her. How was this possible? A captured woman denied knowledge and freedom was able to demise a plan to set the innocent free.
They say this woman came to be known as the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad freeing hundreds of slaves over the years. She even managed to create a system of organizing safe houses for the escaped slaves to hide. This woman became a leading abolitionist before the Civil War and eventually helped the Union Army during war times working as a spy. Harriet Tubman not only did that; after the Civil War ended she established her own Home for the elderly people to have a place to live. I have to say it; this was truly an amazing woman of God!
In examining Harriet Tubman’s life I can only conclude women lead because we have to lead. We go against the odds. This was evident in Harriet’s life. Being a slave, a black woman, having epilepsy, born in the south, etc. were just some of the odd against her, yet she was able to lead hundreds of people to freedom. This is what we do as women, we get people to a better state of existence and being whether it is in our homes, churches, communities, workplace etc., and we make things better.
People even called her Moses because she led the people to freedom. I do not believe there is not a woman on the earth who follows God that has not experienced the Moses complex. Indeed we can lead and we do it very well.
