Sojourner Truth is famous for taking off her blouse and showing her breasts to an audience because a man interrupted and said she isn't a woman and saying, "Ain't I a Woman?" and for being a civil rights activist. She is a woman suffragist who gave her famous "Ain't I a Woman" speech at the Seneca Falls Convention.
If I remember it correctly she is trying to show how hypocritical the women are at the women rights convention that she is at. The women wanted all people to have equal rights, men said no because women are inferior in their opinion. As a women, Sojourner Truth was also there to fight for women's rights. she gets up to speak, but the women then get mad at her and try to silence her because she is a BLACK woman and black people shouldn't have rights. it's ironic because the women are doing to Sojourner exactly what the men are doing to them. Men won't let women have rights, women get upset because it's unfair to not let someone have rights just because they are a different gender. But then women won't let sojourner have rights just because of her skin color. "Aren't I a woman too? shouldn't I be able to fight for woman's rights? I thought we were all on the same page here.." -basically Sojourner Truth
she wanted white people to respect her as a African American woman and have the same rights as any white woman
