LAD #17: Ain't I A Woman?

A photo of Sojourner Truth, who gave a speech, "Ain't I A Woman?"

Truth noticed that men, when referring to women, never included any woman but the white one. She asks again and again - "And ain't I a woman?" She can do things white men can't do; she gives birth just like a white woman, only her children are sold into slavery. 

Intellect should not be used to judge women any more than men, nor black people any more than white people. The idea that women can't have as many rights as men because Christ is a man is stupid; Christ was born from God and a woman; man had nothing to do with it. If the first woman could change the world all herself, her day's women together can turn it back and make it right again.
