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 I a 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?
