Answer 1

" Ain't I A Woman "

In 1844, Truth joined a Massachusetts abolitionist organization called the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, where she met leading abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass and effectively launched her career as an equal rights activist.

In 1851, at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention, Truth spoke out about equal rights for black women. Reporters published different transcripts of the speech where she used the rhetorical question, “Ain’t I A Woman?” to point out the discrimination she experienced as a black woman. She met with leading women’s rights activists of her day like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.

The speech became her most famous, though it was just one of many as she continued to advocate for human rights the rest of her life.
