Ain't I a Woman? by Sojourner Truth

4.0

Surprisingly fun to read. Seems like Sojourner Truth was quite an iconic and kind of hilarious woman? Such a distinctive style - you can almost hear it in your head as you read. Very interesting to hear what black women of the time's expectations were. An illiterate 80 year old black woman in the 1860s seemingly genuinely saying she expected to be able to vote before she died... It makes for somewhat bittersweet reading. I really liked the addition of other writings / speeches from black American women of around the same time. Interesting to get some different perspectives
