Sojourner Truth: Strategy In Women's Rights Speech
5 pages in length. Sojourner Truth went to bat for every woman when she spoke before a crowd of hostile white people at the 1851 Ohio Women's Rights Convention, who were in no mood to hear what she had to say. After gaining permission to convey her message, the nearly six-foot-tall muscular black woman took hold of that crowd with a defiance and assertion uncharacteristic of the black race at that time. Throughout her short but impassioned speech, Truth held the audience in the palm of her hand, bravely asserting her opinions with regard to women's rights. Indeed, she did not apologize for her forceful tone or powerful declaration; rather, that proved to be her strategy by which she would ultimately win support in the continuing fight for women's rights. The writer discusses how Truth utilized defiance as a strategy for her speech. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
