![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?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't
have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a
woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your
Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had
nothing to do with Him.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/final-aintiawomen-160410230855/85/Ain-t-I-A-Woman-25-320.jpg)

Ain't I A Woman?
The document is an agenda for a lesson on women's history month that includes analyzing texts to create and support a claim about the role of women. It includes links to speeches by Sojourner Truth and Queen Latifah to examine their claims about women's rights. Students are prompted to reflect on the texts using prompts about adjectives, emotions, interesting things, and questions. The lesson aims to have students understand the authors' arguments and reflect on how the texts made them feel.

- 23. Well, children, wherethere 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?
- 24. 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?

The ladies willkick it the rhyme that is wicked Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted A woman can bear you break you take you Now it's time to rhyme can you relate to A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream Ayo let me take it from here Queen excuse me but I think I'm about do To get into precisely what I am about to do I'm conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue So listen very carefully as I break it down for you Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily hyper happy overjoyed Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes Let me state the position, ladies first, yes? Yes
- 36. Yeah, there's goingto be some changes in here Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see I know all the fellas out there will agree with me Not for being one but for being with one Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting We are the ones that give birth To the new generation of prophets because it's ladies first I break into a lyrical freestyle Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles 'Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two Sloppy slouching is something I won't do
- 37. Some think thatwe can't flow stereotypes, they got to go I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse With what? With a little touch of ladies first Who said the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe A female rapper with the message to send the Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen My sister, can I get some? Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb

Yo, praise menot for simply being what I am Born in L O N D O N and sound American You dig exactly where I'm coming from You want righteous rhyming, I'm a give you some To enable you to aid yourself and get paid And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay Pay me every bit of your attention Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm Of which is now systematically given Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another
- 39. Plus one more,all four have a job to do, we doing it Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it And next up is me, the M O N I E L O V E And I'm first cause I'm a L A D I E Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder Cooling on the scene with my European partner Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax When I get there, that's when I tax The next man, or the next woman It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming And I'll recite the chapter in verse The title of this recital is "Ladies First"
