In "Sojourner Truth," Joanna Evans utilizes powerful dialogue and monologues to convey the emotional weight of Truth's experiences and convictions. For instance, when Sojourner proclaims, "Ain't I a Woman?" her repetition emphasizes the struggle for gender equality and the intersection of race and womanhood, highlighting the injustices faced by Black women. This dramatic element not only captures the audience's attention but also deepens the impact of Truth's message on the fight against oppression.
