Sojourner Truth delivered her famous speech "Ain't I a Woman?" at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851. In her speech, she powerfully argues that women, especially black women, deserve equal rights and challenges the notion that women are weak. She highlights how she has endured backbreaking labor, borne many children, and withstood the lash of slavery. She questions why women should not have equal rights and asserts that the first woman God created was strong enough to change the world on her own, so women working together can change it for the better.
