LAD #17: Aint I a Woman

          Truth begins by commenting on the current fights for rights by both slaves and white women, and suggests white men will be in a fix soon. She then makes a very good point that men view women as weak and defenseless, and must be treated such as the fragile creatures they are, helped into carriages, walked across puddles and such. But Truth fires back to this thought that no man has done that for her, and she is a woman. She can work and eat like a man, and she is a woman. Men argue that women cannot have rights because of inferior intellect, but this is not fair. Men say women can have rights because Christ was not a woman. However, Christ was born from god and woman... man had nothing to do with it. Although the first woman god created had the strenghth to flip the earth upside down, women today had the strength to flip it back.
