Ain't I a Woman by Sojourner Truth is about a black woman giving a speech to a convention. She talks about the things a gentleman are said to do for women like helping a woman out a carriage or putting their jacket in a puddle to let the woman walk over it. However, she also says that those thing never happened with her, and women can be independent too. Her points are that the things these men say aren't women even consider people to be offered polite gestures.
