In Sojourner Truth's speech she repetitively asks the audience "aint I am woman"which I think is a rhetorical qiestion, but in case it isnt clear, yes, she is a woman. She's bred 13 children,was a slave, and is capable of doing everything a man is doing and stated this in stanzas three, four, and five when she said "I could work and eat as much as a man and bear de lash as well" and "I have borne thirteen chilern and seen 'em mos' all sold off to slavery". In my opinion, she is a woman. My other thoughts on this is that women can't do everything single thing a man can do, but most things, and other things that are much more important.
