Publisher's summary

Discover the remarkable life of Sojourner Truth....

Sojourner Truth was born a slave in 1797. One day, she decided she didn’t want to be a slave anymore and simply walked away from her master. Truth spent the rest of her life preaching and lecturing against slavery and for freedom and equality. While helping former slaves integrate into a free society, she lectured fervently against the discriminations against women, and especially African American women. Her speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” is considered one of the most riveting women’s rights speeches ever given.

Sojourner Truth demanded that African Americans should have equal rights to support themselves and live independently of the dictates of a master or the government. She didn’t just demand her rights, she seized hold of them - such as when she rode the white section of a trolley car. During her lifetime, Sojourner Truth became famous throughout the country, and her funeral in Battle Creek, Michigan, was the largest the town had ever seen.

  • Born a Slave
  • Becoming Sojourner Truth

Biographical Summary

The text is filled with passionate portrayals of Sojourner Truth's numerous tribulations and renowned orations, yet the male narrator distracts from the book's intended message. It would be impressive to hear this account read by a woman from Battle Creek, Michigan, Truth's hometown.

Loved it. Most memorable moment was her explanation of her experience with White men. She was quite a lady.

What a Woman!

I loved this book! I felt like the book was well read by Jason Zenobia and, although too short, it did give me a better understanding of who she is and why it is important to know her. She was quite a woman. It is amazing to me what she accomplished as a Black Woman in an era that was patriarchial, racist,and had no respect for women, black or white. She let nothing stop her from speaking the truth and reaching the goals she set for herself. What a woman!
