Why does Sojourner Truth repeatedly ask, "And ain't I a woman?" in the second
paragraph of this speech?
To argue for her inclusion in women's rights conventions
To draw attention to her many accomplishments as a
reason for earning the same rights as a man
To point out that though she is a woman, she is neither
fragile nor protected from harsh realities of life, and thus
deserves the same rights as men.
To make her case for the abolition of slavery after all that she has struggled against in her life.
