Speech Entitled “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth Delivered at the 1851 Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the Negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about? That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? 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? Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or Negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full? Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ Sojourner Truth “Ain’t I Woman?”, Speech Delivered at Ohio Women’s Rights Convention, May 1851 come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it. The men better let them. Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say. 2 Created for Lit2Go on the web at etc.usf.edu

Black Women Empowerment

African Americans have had their fair share of hardships in America. Their being black
has been a limitation to them. Over the years, however, African Americans have managed to
penetrate the set walls and had their presence acknowledged. In the past, they couldn’t even vote,
or vie for office but now they can. As much as they have been allowed to enjoy all these, African
American women still feel marginalised. They suffer twice; once as women and second as
blacks. Apart from African Americans, Women have also fought to have their voice heard and to
some extent, they succeeded. The modern day woman is not only known for her role as a mother
and a wife but much more. We even have heads of state who are women, for example, the
president of Croatia. For some reason, black women still find it hard to break the chains of
oppression. This paper will look at various texts that show the plight of black women and how
they have been empowered

The speech by Sojourner Truth titled Ain't I a woman explores the subject of inequality.
She talks about how badly she is treated as a black woman. Her text highlights the hurdles that
black women go through. When you compare black women to white women, you will realise
that black women get treated more harshly than white women. She highlights how great white
women get treated when she says that they get lifted over ditches, helped into carriages, and are

given the best places wherever they go. Then she talks about her own experience where she says
that she has never experienced all these good things that women have a right to enjoy. She says
that never has anyone helped her climb into a carriage, or helped her cross over mud-puddles, or
even considered to give her the best place wherever she goes ("Ain't I a Woman?: The Text").
