In this brief speech, Sojouner Truth starts off by saying how white women are treated very differently from black women. She describes her hardships, such as being whipped working in the fields, has 13 children who were sold off as a slaves, and has never felt comfort in America. Furthermore, she argues that even if she was intellectually inferior to the likelihood's of white people, she should deserve a free education anyways. Sojouner concludes by encouraging women to change the world in favor of their sex, and that the men better let the, or else.

| This reminds me of the Seneca Falls Convention, as many people like Truth, abolitionist and women's right advocates alike attended, in pursuit of their goals. |
