"Ain't I a Woman" is a phrase famously uttered by Sojourner Truth during a speech she delivered at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851. Sojourner Truth, born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree, was a prominent African American abolitionist and women's rights activist. In her speech, she challenged the prevailing notions of female inferiority and highlighted the strength and resilience of Black women.

Sojourner Truth's speech powerfully argued for equal rights for all women, including Black women, at a time when they were often excluded from the mainstream feminist movement. Her words continue to resonate today as a powerful reminder of the intersectional nature of discrimination and the importance of recognizing and honoring the experiences of Black women in the fight for equality.
