    Although some amongst the crowd feared to talk of abolition and women’s rights together, Sojourner got up and depicted how equal a woman was to a man.

    I could get it -and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman?” (Gage) What Gage is trying to explain is that everything a man has done or can do, a woman can do too, even sometimes more superior. You hear so much about women and men, whether the two being equal or not, but the gender of a person does not say what they can do or not do, the strength, ability, or intelligence of a person can tell whether someone is capable of something, and this speech helped many people, especially women, realize this. Another quote from the speech is “Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman!…

The main focus of these pieces is about women taking action and using the power of their voice to change the living for women and the levels of society. Analyzing these two works reveals a message that a woman’s voice is strong enough to raise the moral standards of how society views women.…
