This is a great little summary of Tubman, and I totally agree she's awesome.
I'm not sure no one has heard of her though, or that she's too dangerous and revolutionary to make it into the "mainstream"; just looking at the "Legacy" section on her wiki page, there are a ton of monuments, national parks, etc named for her. A survey found she was the third-most famous non-politician American before the Civil War, and in 2016 the Secretary of the Treasury announced that Tubman would replace Jackson on the $20 with bills set to enter circulation in 2020. So I totally agree that she could be better known, but all things considered she seems pretty famous.
Your in the US , my point was being made from the UK and trust me very few people have heard of her here. I guarantee you know Robin Hood though? A fictional hero. I'm making a point in a world of hero worship why is she not a major historical figure and of course it's a point which some may not need made but my blog is aimed at the people around me and so far has been completely validated as even most of my family members were unaware of Harriet. The only time she got any publicity was the reporting of the $20 bill and actually her name became one of the most popular Google searches as people researched who she was. Personally i find the idea of putting the image of a great freedom fighter onto fiat, the greatest tool of enslavement, abhorrent, if its even relevant as currency by 2020. Theres over 10,000 Hollywood movies made that feature the Holocaust guess how many that feature this brave lady ..... ? Thanks for your kind words but I think we will need to agree to disagree about wether Harriet Tubman gets the level of publicity her story deserves.

Fair enough. I did notice that you had the British spelling of "labour," but it didn't register that you might not be American. So you really think she should be like, Mother Theresa-level famous? She certainly doesn't get that kind of attention, that's for sure.
