"If the first woman God created was strong enough to single-handedly turn the world upside down, then all women together can change the situation and turn the world upside down again!"
Well, folks, when there's such a racket, something must be out of order. I think that sandwiched between black people from the south and women from the north, all of them talking about rights, white men will very soon be in trouble. But what is all this talk about?
That man over there says you have to help women into carriages, you have to carry them over ditches, and they must always have the best place. No one ever helps me into a carriage, over mud, or gives me the best seat! And I'm not a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have weeded, I have planted, I have gathered straw in the barns, and no man has surpassed me! And I'm not a woman? I could work and eat as much as a man - when I had it - and bear the lashes too! And I'm not a woman? I bore five children and most of them were sold into slavery. When I manifested my mother's pain, no one, except Jesus, listened to me! And I'm not a woman?
And then they talk about that thing in their head, what's it called? (A member of the audience murmurs: “intellect”). That's it, honey. What does this have to do with women's rights or black rights? If my mug is not even half full and your mug is almost full, wouldn't it be petty of you not to complete my measure?
Then that little man dressed in black says that women cannot have as many rights as men because Christ was not a woman! But where does your Christ come from? Where did Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God created was strong enough to single-handedly turn the world upside down, then all women together will be able to change the situation and turn the world upside down again! And now they are asking to do this. It's better that men don't meddle.
Thanks for listening, and now old Sojourner doesn't have much else to say.

Truth was born in captivity in Swartekill, New York. Her best-known speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" was delivered in 1851 at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.
