That man over there says that 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 mud-puddles, or gives me any best
place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my
arm! I have ploughed 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 la
woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most
all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my
mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't la
woman?
