Delivered 1851 Women's Convention, Akron, Ohio Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about? That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed 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 thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman? Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Sojourner Truth: A'nt I a Woman? [This is a much less cleaned up version, than that normally given. It is worth reading outloud.] Sojourner Truth (c.1792-1883) - was the adopted name of a woman born in New York who escaped from slavery shortly before mandatory emancipation became law in the state in 1828. Truth was nearly six feet tall and physically powerful from her years of hard labor. She gave this speech - which made her famous at the time it in Akron, Ohio, at a women 's rights meeting in May, 1851. This version includes an introduction a setting of the scene. Sojourner Truth, Mrs. Stowe's "Lybian Sibyl," was present at this Convention. Some of our younger readers may not know that Sojoumer Truth was once a slave in the State of New York, and carries to­day as many marks of the diabolism of slavery, as ever scarred the back of a victim in Mississippi. Though she can neither read nor write, she is a woman of rare intelligence and common­sense on all subjects. She is still living, at Battle Creek, Michigan, though now 110 years old. [ note: In fact at time of publication she was c. 84 years old

Her parents were owned by Colonel Charles Ardinburgh, of Ulster county, and she was sold at the age of ten to John J. Dumont. Though she was emancipated by the act of New York which set at liberty in 1817 all slaves over the age of forty, she does not appear to have obtained her freedom until 1827, when she escaped and went to New York city. Subsequently she lived in Northampton, Massachusetts, and in 1851 began to lecture in western New York, accompanied by George Thompson, of England, and other Abolitionists, making her headquarters in Rochester, New York. Subsequently she traveled in various parts of the United States, lecturing on politics, temperance, and women's rights, and for the welfare of her race. She could neither read nor write, but, being nearly six feet in height and possessing a deep and powerful voice, she proved an effective lecturer. She carried with her a book that she called "The Book of Life."

Who is Sojourner Truth? Learn about the amazing life of former slave, ardent abolitionist and pioneer suffragette, Sojourner Truth. Sojourner Truth was born with the slave name Isabella in 1797 in Ulster county, New York. Her parents were Dutch speaking slaves and Dutch was the first language that young Isabella learned. For the first thirty years of her life she belonged to a number of different slave owners. When she was fourteen, Isabella married an older slave by the name of Thomas. At the age of seventeen she bore her first child. Four more were to follow over the next eleven years. The last child, however, died in infancy. bodyOffer(31150) Isabellas life could have been just like countless other female slaves of the early nineteenth century, but for a series of events in the 1820s and thirties that changed her life. In 1826 her son Peter was illegally sold to an Alabama slave holder. Isabella was desperate for his return and, with the aid of some local Quakers, she took out a law suit for his return. Her case was successful and her son was returned to her. About this time Isabella also joined the Methodist Church. This occurred after, according to her own narrative God revealed himself . . . with all the suddenness of a flash of lightening . . . showing that he pervaded the Universe and that there was no place where God was not. In 1827, New York abolished slavery. Isabella was a free woman. She decided to seek work in New York City, taking her son Peter with her, while her daughters stayed home in Ulster County with their father. She became a domestic cleaner by day and a lay Methodist preacher by night. She would speak at camp meetings about the salvation that could only come from giving oneself to the Lord. In 1832 she joined a cult led by a self proclaimed Messiah who called himself Matthias. Three years later the cult was broken up amid scandal and Isabella moved on. She aligned herself with a group known as the Millerites. These people believed that Biblical prophecy indicated that the world would end in 1843.

TES NEWS, Volume 4, Number 3, August 1995 Sojourner Truth: A 19th Century Traveling Advocate for Civil Rights by Kelli Mellgren and Ken Edgett, ASU Sojourner Truth was a deeply spiritual antislavery and women's rights activist who traveled widely in New England and the Midwestern U.S. to speak on these issues. She was known for her deep voice, quick wit, and even deeper faith and conviction. She was born Isabella Baumfree around the year 1797 in Ulster County, New York. Her exact date of birth is unknown, because she was born into slavery. She had many different owners, her last was Isaac Van Wagener. About the time she was freed, one of her sons was sold illegally into slavery in Alabama. With much determination and a lawsuit against the man who sold her son, she eventually got him back. Isabella Van Wagener changed her name in 1843 to Sojourner Truth. Answering what she considered to be a calling from God, she joined the Methodist Church and became a traveling evangelist. From then on, she "traveled up and down the land," speaking in many towns in the northeast and midwest on women's rights and against slavery. She supported her travels by selling copies of her book, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth.

African American Odyssey Introduction Overview Object List Search Exhibit Sections: Slavery Free Blacks Abolition Civil War Reconstruction Booker T. Washington Era WWI-Post War ... Civil Rights Era Abolition, Anti-Slavery Movements, and the Rise of the Sectional Controversy Part 1: Anti-Slavery Activists Popularizing Anti-Slavery Sentiment Part 2 Black and white abolitionists in the first half of the nineteenth century waged a biracial assault against slavery. Their efforts proved to be extremely effective. Abolitionists focused attention on slavery and made it difficult to ignore. They heightened the rift that had threatened to destroy the unity of the nation even as early as the Constitutional Convention. Although some Quakers were slaveholders, members of that religious group were among the earliest to protest the African slave trade, the perpetual bondage of its captives, and the practice of separating enslaved family members by sale to different masters. As the nineteenth century progressed, many abolitionists united to form numerous antislavery societies. These groups sent petitions with thousands of signatures to Congress, held abolition meetings and conferences, boycotted products made with slave labor, printed mountains of literature, and gave innumerable speeches for their cause. Individual abolitionists sometimes advocated violent means for bringing slavery to an end. Although black and white abolitionists often worked together, by the 1840s they differed in philosophy and method. While many white abolitionists focused only on slavery, black Americans tended to couple anti-slavery activities with demands for racial equality and justice.

Biographical Sojourner Truth Ain't I A Woman? Sojourner Truth (1795-1883)-born Isabella, a slave, in New York State-became a well known antislavery speaker some time after gaining her freedom in 1827. This speech, given extemporaneously at a woman's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, 1851, was recorded by Frances Gage, feminist activist and one of the authors of the huge compendium of materials of the first wave, The History of Woman Suffrage . Gage, who was presiding at the meeting, describes the event: The leaders of the movement trembled on seeing a tall, gaunt black woman in a gray dress and white turban, surmounted with an uncouth sunbonnet, march deliberately into the church, walk with the air of a queen up the aisle, and take her seat upon the pulpit steps. A buzz of disapprobation was heard all over the house, and there fell on the listening ear, 'An abolition affair!" "Woman's rights and niggers!" "I told you so!" "Go it, darkey!" . . Again and again, timorous and trembling ones came to me and said, with earnestness, "Don't let her speak, Mrs. Gage, it will ruin us. Every newspaper in the land will have our cause mixed up with abolition and niggers, and we shall be utterly denounced." My only answer uses, "We shall see when the time conies." The second day the work waxed warm. Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Universalist minister came in to hear and discuss the resolutions presented. One claimed superior rights and privileges for man, on tire ground of "superior intellect"; another, because of the "manhood of Christ; if God had desired the equality of woman, He would have given some token of His will through the birth, life, and death of the Saviour." Another gave us a theological view of the "sin of our first mother."
