feb 15, 1878 - Ar'n't I a Woman? - Sojourner Truth (from The Narrative of Soujourner Truth)

Description:

transcript of Truth's speech recalled by Frances Gage (president of the convention) for Truth's biography written 27 years later; uses eye dialect (probably inaccurate as Truth was from New York and spoke Dutch as a first language so she would not have had the southern accent portrayed in this version); more exaggerated: tells more about (possible) crowd reaction as Truth gave the speech
