                    Women’s rights convention – Sojourner Truth

      One of the most unique and interesting
speeches of the convention was made by Sojourner
Truth, an emancipated slave. It is impossible to
transfer it to paper or convey any adequate idea of the
effect it produced upon the audience. Those only can
appreciate it who saw her powerful form, her whole-souled,
earnest gesture, and listened to her strong and
truthful tones. She came forward to the platform and
addressing the President said with great simplicity:
      "May I say a few words?" Receiving an
affirmative answer, she proceeded: I want to say a few
words about this matter. I am a woman's rights. I have
as much muscle as any man and can do as much work
as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked
and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more
than that? I have heard much about the sexes being
equal. I can carry as much as any man, and can eat
as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man
that is now. As for intellect, all I can say is, if a woman
has a pint, and a man a quart -- why can't she have
her little pint full? You need not be afraid to give us our
rights for fear we will take too much; -- for we can't take
more than our pint will hold. The poor men seem to be
all in confusion, and don't know what to do. Why
children, if you have woman's rights, give it to her and
you will feel better. You will have your own rights, and
they won't be so much trouble. I can't read, but I can
hear. I have heard the bible and have learned that Eve
caused man to sin. Well, if a woman upset the world,
do give her a chance to set it right side up again. The
Lady has spoken about Jesus, how he never spurned
woman from him, and she was right. When Lazarus
died, Mary and Martha came to him with faith and love
and besought him to raise their brother. And Jesus
wept and Lazarus came forth. And how came Jesus
into the world? Through God who created him and the
woman who bore him. Man, where was your part? But
the women are coming up blessed be God and a few
of the men are coming up with them. But man is in a
tight place, the poor slave is on him, woman is coming
on him, he is surely between a hawk and a buzzard.
