Ain't I a Woman?

Ain't I a Woman? Sojourner Truth argues men and women should be equal. As you read her speech you see even all women are not treated equally to each other. She says men talk about how women should be presented in the best, as in carried over mud holes and helped into carriages. Truth doesn't get carried over mud or lifted into carriages. What makes her different from the other women, ain't I a woman?, she says. Why can we not all be equal? A man says Christ was a man, that is why we are not equal. "Christ" might have been a man, but to receive a man from birth, a woman and man must come together. 2 equals make one. 

Everyone on this planet should be able equal one another. Race, gender, personality, etc. Who has the right to say "I am above you." No one. This problem dates back from way back when, and today, after 161 years after this speech it is still a problem in our society.
