Tubman worked in her later years to promote the cause of women's suffrage. A white woman once asked Tubman whether she believed women ought to have the vote, and received the reply: "I suffered enough to believe it. Tubman began attending meetings of suffragist organizations, and was soon working alongside women such as Susan B. Anthony and Emily Holland
Tubman traveled to New York, Boston, and Washington DC to speak out in favor of women's voting rights. She described her actions during and after the Civil War, and used the sacrifices of countless women throughout modern history as evidence of women's equality to men. When the National Federation of Afro-American Women was founded in 1896, Tubman was the keynote speaker at its first meeting.
This wave of activism kindled a new wave of admiration for Tubman among the press in the United States. A publication called The Woman's Era launched a series of articles on "Eminent Women" with a profile of Tubman. An 1897 suffragist newspaper reported a series of receptions in Boston honoring Tubman and her lifetime of service to the nation. However, her endless contributions to others had left her in poverty, and she had to sell a cow to buy a train ticket to these celebrations.
The aftermath of the US Civil War was the end to slavery in the US and soon after a Constitutional guarantee of voting rights for Freed Black men. The Womens' suffrage movement backed this and helped to ensure to a greater degree the voting rights of former male slaves. The "Movement" expected that those who favored ensuring the Black vote would aid the fight for the right of women to vote. They felt betrayed, however, when help from the "pro-Black" people failed to endorse the same voting rights for women.
