Read this excerpt from Sojourner Truth's speech "Ain't I a Woman?" and think about what persuasive methods are being used. I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal. I can carry as much as any man, and can eat as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now.
