LAD #17: Ain't I a Woman?

In this speech, Sojourner Truth compares herself to a white woman, and their different positions in society.  White women treated with kindness and curtosey.  On the other hand, society fails to treat Truth in this same manner.  Like any woman, Truth has given birth.  Yet, still she does not qualify to be worth of such womanhood.  She goes on to denounce man for believing that women cannot have the same rights as men since god Christ is a male.  Truth argues that sure Christ is a male, but he was brought into this world by a woman!  Finally she says " 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!"
