When Sojourner Truth starts her speech, she starts by calling her audience children; she is implying the fact that she sees everyone as equal; men and women. She makes the allusion to the story of Adam and Eve, and Sojourner Truth uses Eve’s actions to argue her point; that women have enough power to make a difference in the world, community and also it was a woman who gave birth to Christ. Sojourner Truth makes connections to the bible to enable a powerful connection between her argument and the audience. “These women together ought to be able to turn it back,... ” (Paragraph 4) Truth’s purpose of this quote is that if these women all work together, there is no reason that they should not achieve what they are looking for; equality for all.
