given by Sojourner Truth, a formerly enslaved person,
in 1851.
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't
have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a
woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did
your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man
had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to
turn the world upside down all alone, these women
together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right
side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men
better let them.
