I am currently taking American Women's History, and it is all too interesting to read and learn about women and how they strived to find equality. But today while reading Sojourner Truth's speech, "Ain't I a Women?" I found one of the best quotes ever and have decided that Sojourner Truth was a bad ass advocate for African American and women's rights! And now I quote this brilliant woman:
"Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much right as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a women! 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!"
Tear... Sojourner, you make me proud to be a woman!

Tear... Sojourner, you make me proud to be a woman!
