“Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place!” — Sojourner Truth
And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man — when I could get it — and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? “ — Sojourner Truth
