At the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth, an African American women, gave her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech. She spoke about her beliefs that women should not be discriminated against and that they are just as capeable of being successful as men. Truth believed that many men’s perception of women was degrading. She herself has accomplished many tasks that men would normally do and she was still a woman. Finally, she sums up her speech with the conclusion that men were created by God and a woman, therefore women should be given more respect and rights than what they currently had.
