Results from Classic Quotes:

That little man in black over there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883), Ain't I A Woman, a speech delivered in 1851
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883), Women's Convention, Akron Ohio, 1851

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883)
Truth burns up error.: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883)
Religion without humanity is poor human stuff.: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883)
There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. So I am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring; because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.: Sojourner Truth (1797 - 1883), Equal Rights Convention, New York, 1867
