Rhetorical Analysis Of Ain T I A Woman

In the speech "Ain’t I a Woman?", the author, Sojourner Truth, explains her view about equal rights for women. Sojourner Truth takes a stand for equal rights women should have. She believes that women deserve equal rights because women can eat and work like men, and because intellect shouldn’t affect men and women’s rights. Truth describes that men are in a “fix” because they state how to treat a woman, but don’t do the things they say they should do for a woman. A man claims that since Christ wasn’t a woman, women don’t deserve the rights that men have. Sojourner responds by saying Christ was made by God and a woman, stating that since a woman was powerful enough to change the world, women should be able to turn the world in the right direction.
