What impressed me was the ability to help such a large number of slaves, even if it put her in danger.

Explanation:

It may seem cliché, but the most surprising thing about Harriet Tubman is the courage and the extremely organized and efficient work that he promoted, being able to free more than 300 slaves. Harriet Tubman was an amazing woman in every way, in addition to having a critical sense and a very strong sense of justice, making her punctual in all the causes in which she was involved.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
