# Harriet Tubman · the top woman of the 1870s

*Decade of 1861–1870 — TOP WOMAN OF THE WORLD.*

## Why number one
The Underground Railroad, and a Union spy who led people out of bondage.

## The margin
By the rule of the board, **Harriet Tubman is exactly +50.495495% more right than number ten** — who, this decade, was **Susan B. Anthony**. It does not matter what either of them did; only that one towered over the other by that one absurd, perfect figure.

## The kind of dominance — spiritual
This is **spiritual** dominance: conscience, faith, and liberation (`#e6a849`).
