The speaker is Sojourner Truth. We know that Truth was an African American who was a former slave. She was an abolitionist and an advocate for women's rights. Due to the fact that she was a former slave, one who had their rights and freedoms taken away, she saw the perception of white men's treatment of taking care of women wherever and whenever to be an inherent lie as no man every helped her do anything.

all women in America are questioning about the rights they should have as women. By the 1850s the declaration of sentiments motivated a lot of women to speak to get equal rights with men. She talks in the convention that was made due to those articles about how its a given for white women to be treated nicely but not her since she was a former slave. And she's questioning the unfairness.

Truths tone is Informal, pensive, and direct. The tone is constant through out text as she is direct in her beleifs and her questions "Ain't I a woman?" and "Where did your Christ come from?" all creating a pensive, deep/reflective tone. She is also informal where she is talking with and responding to the audience, like when she asks for a word and the audience member responds. She is also uses informal words such as "honey" and contractions like "ain't". This tone makes her more relatable to the audience and they will be more likely to agree with her ideas as they feel like they are all together and on the same level to fight for their freedom.

She is frustrated by the mistreatment of women. Truth is annoyed and angered by what people in the crowd have been saying: "women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman!"

The tone the author used was straightforward and indignant because the author was expressing how women are treated differently even though they have shared characteristics. This is really shown when she says, " That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman?"

Sejouner Truth was a freed slave but still had to suffer from the inequality women faced in her lifetime. In 1851 women and slaves were not being treated with equality. Men telling her that women were beneath them, and that women did not deserve the freedom that men got is what sparked Sejouner truth to peak out against the inequality.

1. repetition of the rhetorical question "and ain't I a woman?"
2. Colloquialism: use of slang (ain't, 'cause, 'twixt), starting sentences with conjunctions/prepositions (and, then)
3. Analogy/metaphor (cup analogy in paragraph 3)

The author appeals to logos when she says God needed to make a woman first so that Christ could be born. She logically states the reason men exist is because women are there. She also appeals to logos when she mentions how she has done more work as a slave than a white man could ever do. By saying this, she implies that if she is a women and can do way more than a man can, then why does she not have the same rights. In a way the author also establishes the credibility of woman in general(Ethos) because a large population of the US are Christians and they all know the story of how the Virgin Mary gave birth to Christ.

This speech was delivered in 1851 at the Women's Convention in Arkon, Ohio. During this time women did not have many of the rights that men had. They were not able to vote, they did not have the right to own property, getting an education was not encouraged, and they were expected to stay home and take care of the family.

Her purpose of the argument is to show the audience why women are equal (it is not to persuade since it is a women’s rights conference) and how it is unfair she can take all the problems of men but don’t have any rights that men have. Considering women can take the “lash” but don’t get to eat as much from their work it is unfair. She was hoping to give more women an easy comeback and logic to convince others of how the women’s rights movement is the fair way.

the speaker is hoping to accomplish is to say that all women can do the same exact stuff as men, so they should get just as many rights. the reasoning behind this is that she was tired of people always looking down on women for no reason whatsoever and she just wants women to have as many rights as men. she wants the audience to understand why women want more rights that try and put it in their head

-Repetition of the rhetorical Question "ain't I a woman?"
-Colloquial language throughout the entire speech
-counterargument, providing the positions of men such as "Jesus was a man" and then presenting an argument to the contrary or something that nullifies the value of the point

The author uses pathos when she says, "I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman?" This makes the audience feel some form of commiseration towards her, because as a mother you want to raise and care for your child, and her children were sold to slavery.
