Sojourner Truthová citáty

Sojourner Truthová rodená Isabella Baumfreeová bola afroamerická abolicionistka a aktivista za práva žien.

Narodila sa v otroctve v dnešnom Riftone v štáte New York. So svojou malou dcérou utiekli na slobodu v roku 1826. Počas súdu o získanie svojho syna sa stala prvou afroamerickou ženou, ktorá vyhrala súdny proces proti bielemu mužovi.[chýba zdroj] Známy sa stal jej improvizovaný prejav z roku 1851 na tému rasových nezrovnalostí s názvom Ain't I a Woman?.

Počas americkej občianskej vojny pomáhala regrutovať afroamerických vojakov do armády Únie. Po vojne sa neúspešne pokúšala pre bývalých otrokov zabezpečiť postúpenie pôdy od federálnej vlády. Wikipedia

Sojourner Truthová: Citáty v angličtine

“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 I a woman?”

Ain't I a Woman? Speech (1851)
Kontext: 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 I a woman?

“Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.”

Ain't I a Woman? Speech (1851)
Kontext: That little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Jesus Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.

“If women want rights more than they got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.”

As quoted in Sojourner Truth : A Self-made Woman (1974) by Victoria Ortiz
Varianta: Sisters, I ain't clear what you be after. If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it?
