Ain't I a Woman?
Sojourner Truth

In 1851 Sojourner Truth gave a speech in Akron,Ohio to a group of women's rights advocates. She was making a statement that women are just as important as men are and that women can do anything a man could. She was disputing the stereotypes that all women are weak and are not smart, and the truth of the matter is that now in 2012 more women are graduating high school and receiving their college degrees. Men and women are just as important as each other and should embrace the fact that their genders are recognized for being intellectual and important beings. -ac :)
