Sorry to burst your bubble, but Sojourner Truth probably didn't make the speech you're thinking of. If the speech you read has "... and ain't I a woman?" in it, it's almost certainly fake, cobbled together well afterward by a (presumably) well-meaning person, who apparently wanted something a bit more visceral and something that sounded more like it might have come from the mouth of a former slave.
This was a bit of a Critical Research Failure on Frances Gage's part, as Ms. Truth was born and raised in New York, and spoke only Dutch until she was nine years old; it's unlikely that she would have exhibited the speech patterns in Gage's version of the speech, which are far more characteristic of southern slaves of the period.
