Answer

"Ain't I a Woman?" is the name of Sojourner Truth's most famous speech. Delivered in 1851 at a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, the speech powerfully challenged the prevailing notions of gender and race. Truth eloquently argued that women, regardless of their race, deserved the same rights and opportunities as men, using her own experiences as a former slave and a woman to illustrate the injustices she had faced.
