"The man over there says 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 puddles, or gives me the best place - and ain't I a woman? "Look at my arm! I have sloughed 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 born thirteen children and seen most of 'em sold into slavery and when I cried out with my mother's grief none but Jesus heard me - and ain't I a woman?"
