LAD #17: Sojourn Truth "Ain't I a Woman"

In Sojourner Truth's Ain't I A Woman Speech, she keeps herself relaxed while still making her case for women's and negros' rights. She states that she can do just about anything as well as a man but is still not given the same treatment, while also doing things men do not do, such as childbirth and child rearing. She dismisses all the reasons she has been told as to her why women are not or cannot be equal. She defeats each argument, whether religion or reason with logic and calls those who refuse to accept equality for all ignorant, racist, and even sexist.
