Who Was Sojourner Truth? Quotes

“I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns, and no man could head me—and ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man (when I could get it) and bear the lash as well—and ain’t I a woman? I have borne . . . children and seen all sold off into slavery, and when I cried out with a mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me—and ain’t I a woman?”
