I can do as much work as any man ... We do as much, we eat as much, we want as much. What we want is a little money. You men know that you get as much again as women when you write, or for what you do. When we get our rights, we shall not have to come to you for money, for then we shall have money enough of our own.
Sojourner TruthI am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool.
Sojourner TruthI am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring. Because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.
Sojourner TruthI must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votesas they go in. Now, the first time I vote I'll see if the woman's vote looks any different from the rest--if it makes any stir or commotion. If it don't inside, it need not outside.
