Page "Sojourner Truth" Paragraph 21

In the second sessions of Sojourner ’ s speech, she utilized a story from the Bible to help strengthen her argument for equal rights for women.

She ended her argument by accusing men of being self-centered, saying, “ man is so selfish that he has got women ’ s rights and his own too, and yet he won ’ t give women their rights.

He keeps them all to himself .”
