LAD #17

Summarize "Ain't I a Woman" Speech:
This is a speech that is given by Sojouner Truth's. She starts off by describing how white women are treated. They are treated delicately. But is Sojouner a woman? Then why does she works in the fields and gets whipped often. Her 13 children got sold off to slaves and she never had anywhere to go for comfort. In addition, she argues that even if ther intellect is less capable than a white's or a man's, she still shouldn't be treated poorly. She also addresses the argument of the clergy. Which statese that women have less rights than men because Jesus was a man. She states that Jesus was really born as a woman. Basiscally, she is stating that women should be able to turn the world right side up and the men should be okay with this.
