Sojourner Truth

by Heather Moore Niver

Overview

Sojourner Truth is best known for her famous speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851 in which she asked, "Ain't I a woman?" Born into slavery in 1797, she escaped to freedom with her baby daughter by 1826. But freedom held hardships for Truth, too. Despite all odds, this extraordinary woman fought for rights for both blacks and women as well as other disenfranchised populations. This in-depth account of the fascinating life of the abolitionist is a must-read in any social studies collection.
