“Ain’t I a Woman?” is known to be an important speech in American History, despite having a lack of sufficient evidence. Why do you think the speech is still considered highly significant even though it is technically flawed?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Technically flawed?

What a strange assessment. It might lack grammatically accepted rules. So what?

The content is much more important than any grammatical conventions. That is about the last thing you should think about when reading what she said. The last thing.

What is really important is that she is the mother of 13. She is one of the first women to realize how unjust the system is when considering women. She is blasting the system for being what it was. She rightly and courageously sees that she can do the work of men, and take the same punishment as men, but she is not afraid to speak out against the injustice she feels about her environment.

She's ahead of her time. She's a forerunner of the modern women who got the vote in 1920 and managed to convince Wilson to sponsor the 19th Amendment.

That's why she should be regarded as the courageous strong willed woman that she was. And she is a woman!
