Harriet Tubman is probably one of the most badass humans to ever live in general, not just as a black woman. Her whole life story is just non-stop jaw-dropping. If she had been born in ancient Greece instead of 19th century America she could have knocked Alexander off his perch.
Black women have largely stepped up as vocal outspoken leaders for various ideological progressive movements in the US. A right they have only had for a few decades. POC less support LGBT rights, but still made massive shifts to acceptance over the last 10 yrs and that also led by black women
From national movements and their spokespeople to ones black grandma not taking shit if someone tries to speak hate around her
Recently, the Black Lives Matter and #metoo movements were started by black women. Other than that, the only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is that a black transwoman was the first to throw a brick at the Stonewall Riots.
