Ain’t I a Woman? is one of the most powerful and enduring speeches in American history—a bold declaration of equality that still resonates across centuries. Delivered in 1851 at the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio, Truth’s words cut through prejudice and hypocrisy with clarity and courage. As an enslaved woman who became a fierce abolitionist and women’s rights advocate, she challenged both racism and sexism in one unforgettable moment, demanding recognition of her strength, intellect, and humanity. This essential text is not merely a piece of history—it is a timeless call for justice, dignity, and the unbreakable power of a woman’s voice.
