                    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.

A recent study, performed with children aged 2 months to 10
years, produced clinicai evidence delineating the stages a child
goes through in developing a self-image. It involved exposing
the child to his reflection in both a true mirror and then one
that was convexly distorted. Children from 9 to 10 months old
were highly responsive to both the true and the distorted mirror
images. Their excitement, attention, and activity seemed to be
unaffected by the distortion, indicating they had no self-image.
Slightly older children, aged 10 to 11 months, made rhythmic
circular movements when exposed to their distorted image
as though attempting to correct the distortion. This change in
response indicates the child may have some idea of his image
and perhaps recognizes the distorted image is wrong. Amarked
change in response changes when a child reaches 18 to 22
months of age. The child avoids both images, having begun to
develop a self-image which does not match the mirror image.
From 2 to 5 years, the child has developed a definite self-image
which is recognizable in the mirror, since the child literally flees
the distorted image. Children ages 7 to 10 had reached a levei
of cognitive development which allowed them to laugh at the
distorted images, play with the mirror and observe the changes
they could effect.
