Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" Speech: A Primary Source Investigation

This is a lively examination of Sojourner Truth's historic speech at the women's rights convention in 1851. Using primary source documents, it includes biographical information that shows how Truth's role as a social reformer straddled the abolitionist and women's rights movements. The book provides solid background information on the plight of women and African Americans in mid- to late nineteenth-century America, and explains some of the legends about Truth. It details and analyzes the two competing historical accounts of the speech, both of which are provided as transcripts.
