    "Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman?" "I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? " "I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?"

    With these three sentences, she is appealing to the audience about the disparities between men and women, that there is no equality as the man said.

    Sojourner Truth, (1797-1883), was born into slavery in New York State. Some time after gaining her freedom in 1827, she became a well known anti-slavery speaker.
